Hello all, NCN said I should mosey on over and join in. Dh and I have recently learned we have low good cholesterol and his triglycerides are a bit high. Both of us need to lose some weight and as you all know from whats for dinner, I love to cook, am a country cook, but....now I need to learn how to cook heart healthy. Glad to be here and know I am going to learn a whole lot from you ladies..
Thanks Jeannie for always starting this in the morning....that is diligence!
Welcome Ayla and Shannon.
Ayla I agree with the white-flour carbs. I cut out all bread from my diet and I think that is why I am finally dropping some weight.
Also I have stopped eating a fiber bar a day....it was making me bloat.
Hey Lacey.....I know you from the real estate thread, that I never get on because I can never keep up with. Glad Mr. L is doing better.
Breakfast -
egg whites, with 2 pieces of turkey ham and a couple mushrooms.
I put 4 green olives in it too ( I love those). Didn't realize they were so high in fat. 2.5 grams in 5 small olives.
mid morning -
yogurt with 1/2 banana
lunch -
salad with 1 piece of turkey. spray dressing
mid afternoon - will probably be 7 triscuits with a piece of turkey.
Dinner...not sure.
Seems I eat the same thing day after day...but posting on here makes me accountable.
1 more pound and I will be in the next 10 numbers. I hope to lose 15 more.
Not quite lunch time and I've got the 'munchies', so I'm having 1/2 C. of Archer Farms (Target) high fiber cereal, dry. (1pt.) It's not too bad actually!
My breakfast is the usual: Wholegrain toast with jelly and tea with milk and sugar.
Lunch? - probably a salad with a little ham, eggs, cauliflower, ground bacon,chickpeas, sunflower seeds (maybe black olives), Ranch dressing. If I stick to this diet, I will lose weight as I did some years back.
HI all,
Carmac said I should come and check out this area since I am dieting and I should have some accountability!! so here I am!! well, I can't seem to give up my french vanilla creamer. (tried black tried just sugar) yuck!! so as bad as it is i'm gonna stick with it.I have 2 cups every morning! today I will probably have a few mixed nuts to get me through to lunch and then I think i'm gonna just have a chicken breast and a small salad with it. then, I work tonight so i won't be able to eat so that's probably all i will do for the day. thanks for letting me share

Hi there, forgot to welcome you. I think we were posting at the same time.
Hey we are all here to help. If I didn't have this thread to be accountable too, not sure what I would do.
I count w.watcher points and it seems to work. I am thinking about doing it online, but I don't know seems to be working without paying for that.
a salad with vinaigrette

does this seem to be a good choice?
It's all about calories in and calories out. That's why I like writing everything down that I eat. It makes me think twice about taking bites here and there of everything.
Hi all and welcome what a great group and we have all helped each other.

1/2 slice cold pizza for lunch.
Made chili for dinner-have to cook like it's an Army here!!! ^ grands, a couple of BF's and GF's,etc. BIG pots.
