Yep I'm with Nykee... Cauliflower... cook the crap out of it and mush it up in a colander, let it drain good. You'll get fiber with very few calories.

Congrats on the 1 1/2 lb down girlie GOOD JOB !!! 2/6/06 DATE OMG !!!!!!!!! YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats less than 2 weeks YEAH YEAH !!! Betty good luck w/your interview "CROSSING FINGERS" Patty, I'm glad your staying on top of things with the LB. People will let things slide if you don't. And thank you for the Happy Band... wishes lolol. I just can't wait for a fill on Feb 3... I'm gaining and I can feel it. Cindy coming from a family of alcoholics, I really understand where your coming from. My DH is not an alcoholic but my dad was and my brothers are. I'm glad your doing what your doing for your daughter's sake. One thing I promised myself is that my DD will never see her dad or I bring a beer bottle to our mouths. Kids absorbe to much and I remember seeing that as a child thinking it was okay. There's a family up the street that are heavy hitters as well. WHen you go to their house the little boy 7 years old will ask you as soon as you come in the house... do you want a beer? WTF ya know. Your a wise person. Nothing much is new here, sosdd. Just working like a fool lol. Trying not to over eat but pfffffffffffffft.... thats just not happening. Hurry Fill !!! Whats up with you all ? HAPPY HUMP DAY !!!

Low fat chili recipe anyone?
I make my chili with ground chicken breast (not regular ground chicken, make sure it says breast). Throw in your seasonings, load it w/beans and veggies, tomato paste, ckn broth.... viola !! Chili. Add a can of pumpkin pie for a great flavor. I love beef chili but the calories are not worth it to me.

Good Morning, YEAH BETTY!!! Congrats on the 2 lb loss Oh is it wet, cold, rainy, snowy, slushy out...Beanie be glad your home. Ya gonna post any of those pictures from Saturday? I know folks are dying to see Zan :thankyou: Nothing much is new to report, sosdd. I slept like crap... went to bed around 1 pm b/c my brain was on overdrive. I just kept thinking and thinking and thinking... uhhhh. Hate those nights. So I got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep...then I had to drive here in this crapy weather..... other than that....things are good HAAAAAAAAA!!!! rant over. Yesterday I took DD to see Hoodwinked. Its more for adults and very cute. DH laughed more than DD. The characters had NY accents and the grandma in the movie was very funny...she was a hip granny....of for those of you who don't know what its about..... The movie takes place after little red riding hood visits her grandmother and the wolf is in the bed and g'ma is tied up in the closet.... thats all I'll say. How are you today ?

OMG, were you looking in my kitchen this morning when I was flinging around stuff and slaming doors... I feel the same way. Why can't DH just pick up stuff instead of walking over things. My weekends are spent cleaning instead of doing things I like, hobbies, etc. I got so pissed this morning that DH ran upstairs... WTF... I'm not a maid and DD is to small to understand. I was scheduled for a fill on Jan 6th. Doc said no b/c I was losing weight. I told him how much I can eat and I was struggling like crazy. He said maybe next visit. Well thats on Feb 3rd. And I can tell you right now that I have gained. I wish he would have listened to me on the 6th b/c then I wouldn't have gained, maybe I would have lost. Anyway...what can you do. I'll be crying next visit if he doesn't . I mean how many bandsters can eat 2 plates of chinese food????? :guess
