Why not just order a regular sized meal and get a "to go" box for what you don't eat? That's what I do. It really works out well because I can get a couple of meals out of leftovers and not have to cook. There have been a couple of places I've been to that wouldn't let me order from the kids menu, but the menu clearly stated "for children 12 and younger only". Eh, what can you do? In that case I just order and have lots of leftovers, lol.

I'm really glad you like it. I just started eating low carb again and I love the fact that is low calorie AND low carb. I made a turkey wrap with the spinach dip and half of a low carb tortilla yesterday and it was very good. Good luck to you!

Renewed~ I hope it doesn't get bad where you live. We got quite a bit of wind and rain from Faye. Lots of tornado watches and a couple of warnings around us. I really don't like bad weather, especially the wind. Be safe and keep us updated if you can. Tootie, I hope you are doing okay...

Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I had a busy one and haven't even been on the website in a couple of days. I did manage to get my run in on Sunday. I decreased my walk time in between the runs. After the 3 minute runs, I walked 2 minutes. After my 5 minute runs, I walked 2 and a half minutes. So, I'm only walking an extra 30 seconds on each interval now. A week ago, I never would have thought I could run for 5 straight minutes...TWICE! I love this program!! Tootie~ Sorry you had to evacuate. I hope you are doing okay and I'm praying for you and your family. Renewed~ Congrats on your week 10 run! You are soooo rockin' this! You're an inspiration to all of us!! Kathy~ Congrats again on the weight loss! Great job! I weighed this morning and I lost the 2 lbs I had gained. Now I'm back at my ticker weight. I started eating low carb again today so I'm hoping that will help jump start my weight loss again. I will have some carbs before my runs but other than that, it will be low carb.

WTG on the weight loss guys!!! Renewed~ Sorry about the flipped port. Hope it's okay until your tummy tuck, which is getting close!! You're going to be at goal in no time!! Good luck with the 10K! That's sooooo exciting!!

Here's a couple that I've posted before that are low in carbs. They are not all quick but they are very good. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/creamy-spinach-chicken-salad-55910/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/baked-spaghetti-fake-out-53689/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/crust-less-spinach-quiche-49727/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/spaghetti-squash-pesto-casserole-52997/ Also, here is a really good website to check out (thanks Blooeyez) Low Carb Cooking!

Whosya~ Wow man, you stay at it! Good for you! Good luck at the 10k!! Kathy~ Sorry you don't have any energy. I've had major problems with feeling drained in the past and it's hard to do anything when you feel that way. Hope you feel better soon. Good luck if you decide to run.

Nah, we don't think you're dumb. It takes awhile to learn the lingo, lol. NSV stands for Non scale Victory.

Thanks! Let me know what your doc says about the diet. I'm thinking of low carbing again starting Monday. Sorry you are so tight and having reflux. Stress mixed with TOM very well could be the reason. Hope it gets better.

Sounds painful luluc! I'm not a nurse or anything so I don't know what to tell you but I hope it gets better soon. Well, I bit the bullet and did day 1 of week 4 this morning. YAY ME!! I changed the walking time in between jogging to 3 minutes and that really helped. I'll try to decrease that a little each time I run until I get it down to the 1.5 and 2 minute walking. I completed both 3 minute runs and both 5 minute runs. I also slowed my speed down just a little. I have been running at 4.7 and bumped it down to 4.5 and that seemed to help too. YAY, I'm finally off of week 3!! Can you tell I'm excited, lol!!

Thanks Renewed! That's pretty much the I've been doing it. You're right, it gets hard to control it towards the end. I'm about to go to the gym in just a bit to do my run. I really don't like going in the mornings but I don't have a choice today. DH and I actually have a date tonight. That rarely happens, lol. We'll probably do dinner and a movie. Have a great day everyone!!

Great NSV Brina!! That must have felt soooo good!

I am probably one of the very few who does not get email notification about thread replies. There's too many and I hate getting all those emails, so....I don't know how they look on the email notifications but here on the website, there are about 5 that are out to the side. It's going to be tough, but I'll just have to try to overlook it, lol! I'm kinda weird, things that are out of place really bugs the crap out of me, lol!

Okay, I'm working on trying to get my breathing under better control. It's getting there and A LOT better than when I first started. Do ya'll take short quick breaths while running or deeper longer breaths? I've been taking longer deeper breaths. I was just wondering if one was better than the other...

It must be just my screen then because now the 5 stats are out to the side again. I guess I'll just have to try and control my OCD tendencies, lol.

Yeah, like 5 names were off to the side. Does it look okay on your screen now?

Sorry, couldn't stand that some names were off to the side, lol! It was bugging me.

Mamato, I'm so glad to hear your DH is doing better. I'll be praying you find another job that provides the medical coverage you need. Hang in there. BTW, that would be great if you start at week 3 with me. I'm sure you will breeze right past me in no time, lol. You were doing so good before your hip injury. I hope it doesn't give you any more problems. Take care.

Boy do we think alike, lol! I just PM'ed Renewed earlier today about trying low carb again. Like you, I haven't lost in a while either and I'm sick of it!! I have done low carb in the past and been very successful with it. I stopped a while back because I was sick and tired of meat, lol. Well, I've barely lost anything since then. I've upped my exercise tremendously since doing low carb. I've been running and my only concern is that I won't have enough energy to sustain my runs. Do any of you have problems with your energy level? I'm thinking of doing strictly low carb most of the day, and maybe having a little bit of carbs before my runs. Maybe a bowl of oatmeal or something. Any thoughts?

Very cool :thumbup:) I use splenda in my coffee so I will look for this next time I go shopping. Thanks for sharing!

I did my run this evening and it was great! I feel soooo good afterwards! BUT, I don't feel like I'll ever get past week 3, lol! 3 minutes is pushing me to the max, I can't imagine 5 minutes and less time to walk in between. I think being out for so long with my knee really set me back. Oh well, I'm just gonna keep repeating week 3 until I feel ready to move on. Kathy~ I'm not sure about your medicine, but I wondered the same thing about my antibiotics. (8 capsules a day!!!) I was really tight while I was on them. I just finished them up yesterday and I feel like I can eat a lot more today.

LOL. You're probably just going to have to try it. I personally love it, but everyone may not. I don't heat it up either. I like it cold. I love it with chips too, but I'm a sucker for any type of spinach dip...

LOL! I have enough trouble with my 2 year old son....can't imagine 6!! As much as I hate going to Wal-Mart, it seems like I can't stay out of that place.....drives me NUTS!!
