Ick! I would never eat something with that many ingredients. At least a lot of them are Vitamins however.

[bigbaby 4]

to each his own......Unless you're growing it yourself....you can never know how many ingredients you're digesting....do you know what's in ALL of the food that you eat when you're at a restaurant?????????/

I posted my anniversary pix on the Junies 6 month page. I really hadn't felt like I lost that much until I compared the photos today.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Wow Insub, MM and Lucy! You guys are kickin' it!

My bandiversary is on the 18th. Since my weight has crept up about 7 pounds in the last month, maybe I'll repost last month's pics? <G>

Found another good Protein bar at smoothie King!

Lean Body Gold is the name. I bought Almond Fudge and Caramel Peanut. Haven't tried the Caramel Peanut yet, but the Almond Fudge is great! It has 3 more net carbs and 5 more sugars, but the numbers are still fantastic. And the texture is even better. Still 30 grams of protein.

(OMG...looking for a pic I found other flavors on Amazon! Texas Pecan Praline?!?!? That has GOT to be good! There is Caramel Cookie Twist and Caramel Almond, too.)

Thanks, Rhonda!

It sucks that all the Protein bars have nuts in them -- I can't eat nuts

[bigbaby 4]

Lucy....you Look Mar-va-lous!!

Keep Up The Good Work!!!!

I think the Cookie Twist has crisps instead of nuts. I'll verify that tomorrow. Found out that Smoothie King closes early on Sundays and I missed out one, so I will definitely be there tomorrow. I see on a lot of foods disclaiming that their product contains no nuts, but may be processed on equipment that also processes nuts...is that a problem, as well for you? I don't know if thier label says that or not just yet for that flavor. It would be great if we could find a good one for you. Keep your fingers crossed and I will buy one tomorrow so I can put the label up on the board.

Thanks, Big baby!

Stef, you are the Protein bar queen! If you find out about the no nuts, let me know. I can eat things that have been processed on the same equipment as nuts -- it's not an allergy, but an intestinal disorder where I don't digest nuts and seeds well. If it's creamy Peanut Butter, for example, I can eat it. But if there are chunks of nuts, it won't work. Thank you!

I was looking forward to going to Smoothie King all day yesterday. When I pulled in last night, they were closed!!! I didn't check to see if they closed early on Sundays or if they just aren't open. I was SO disappointed! So not only didn't I get my smoothie, I wasn't able to get that Protein bar. But I am definitely going tonight!!!

I checked out the six month pix thread...everyone looks so good!
