My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

Those Kim's Magic Pops look delicious and are probably something that would trigger me - I am very much a salty' date=' crunchy person The faux cheese nip has long been a favorite in our house, both among those who have had their tummies removed and those that still have theirs intact. Have you guys ever tried these? I know there are all sorts of videos here and on Youtube with how to make these. Take a Kraft single (I use the Sharp flavor) Slice said cheese and make 3 slices each direction to make 16 little squares. Place little squares on a piece of parchment paper. Microwave for about 50 seconds - squares will puff up, deflate and then harden into a crispy 'cracker'. Nutrition: 16 crackers/one slice of cheese 60 Cals. 4 Protein 2 Carb 4.5 Fat You must use parchment and the microwave - using regular cheeses and the oven makes those nice crunchy, flat (and greasy) things like Parmesan crisps. I try and stay away from wheat or baked goods as much as possible because I turn into a raving carbohydrate monster - so these work for me as a vehicle for other delicious things I don't track fat - I think it is good for us. I made these for my monthly bariatric support group meeting one time last spring and you would have thought I was the second coming of our lord with how popular these were - I even had fairly newish posts ops with tears in their eyes over a little crunchy snack they could enjoy lol.[/quote']

Chimera, OMG, I Will be making those.

Coops, Laura, FYE, y'all are all on the edge!!!! I want to be on the upper edge of 149 too!!!!!

Where is Cherie? Worried. Also Globe. They best start talking soon!!!!

I cant even image the 150's - so many milestones at 155...I hit 155 25 years ago in 1988 for a nanosecond after 4 torturous months of old school Optifast (400 calories of nasty shakes a day' date=' bi-weekly blood draws - nothing else for 16 weeks) went from 211 to 155 and then got in a serious car accident that put me out of work for a year - leg reconstructed with surgery....needless to say, the losses never lasted. 155 was my highest weight in High School - Ohh Im gonna get there..its less than 15 lbs. away! Then goal is another 15...its on![/quote']

You are gonna be A mazing I'm the150s!

These are not badly priced. I was surprised. Kroger had them 2 4packs for $9 so just a tad over a buck a piece!

I try not to go too far over a buck a serving... for pre-mixed these are pretty cheap. I like to throw them into my purse when I am going out of town or somewhere I may need a snack or some added Protein. I like them for coffee, because I don't find powders creamy enough without milk...which hikes up the cals and carbs.

Girl I'm slurper too

I could never get the whole slow down thing...

So far so good today I had my first meal about 1 1/2 hours ago

Chicken, salad and bolthouse dressing

Coming in at 211 calories

I really like these! I think I can make these work for me like you mentioned. I DO have to be careful, though, I don't think I would be able to really make them a true replacement meal except on fast days. I want to chug them !!

I usually only use them on fast days, rarely others, the cost just adds up a little fast for my wallet! I think they might be good to make ice cream out of.....

Looked up bolthouse, looks good! What ones do you use? If you stay at 211, averaged out with what I ate today, we both came in at around 500! .... cActually, I came in at 100 over my goal... Darned sweet tooth!

I like the Caesar Parmigiano this last time though I bought the ranch..

It's ok but the Caesar has more of a flavor kick so I like it better.

Came in so far at 475.. Lets hope it lasts!

Well, my plans went a little awry. The oldest Granddaughter wanted us to go to movies with them AND eat at Wendy's.

Now it started out well. I had their new chicken flatbread sandwich. (370 cals BEFORE I removed half of the flatbread) so I figured around 275 or so. GREAT!

Brought grapes and Water to movie in my purse. . Yep, Great! Not so great the handful of popcorn and about 8 hard werthers SF caramel coffee candies. . So I came in 650. Another .

But it could have been a lot worse so I'll take it and be happy for the trip with family.

Oh, and BTW, Percy Jackson movie. Not so much.

It's hard. Life just gets in the way. It takes so much willpower and control sometimes for me to even go out of the house if it's a fast day. There's so many temptations.

•••laura comes running in••••

And her peeps say, Yaay, Laura!!!

Holy Moly! that is awesome LauraV!

Still chilling at 168 this morning - scale dropped down and stuck. Also started my monthly - which hasn't been so monthly lately as the change is upon me. I am usually super hungry prior, and then that goes away and the scale drops a couple of lbs. - going to do a fast day tomorrow to make up for not getting a fast day in since Monday and hope to get back to my regular gym and fasting days (mon/thurs) next week. Hopefully I will see that scale nudge down a wee bit more for my 'official' weigh-in on Tuesday morning.

Aw! Laura, that is awesome!

Non fast today, still saw 160 this morning *sighs*

Had a lovely food day, plenty (sleeve plenty) of tasty food! Been nice to chew...lol

Tomo I will do a semi fast day - lower than norm cal wise. Kinda works for me in between fast days!

Oh, but Coops, I remember when you were hoping to see 160 stay!! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, Tomorrow, you're only a day away!????
