MM Warriors Part Deux (As of October 27)

Technically it's only 10 net carbs, so you had better eat something with it to make it legal if you want an 11-20!

I just feel like it's not the best choice for a full 11-20, but you could take an extra bite, if you want to!

Oh, I see now what you were saying, no it's 12 NET carbs and that includes 2 fiber, which qualifies as enough fiber for a bar. The total carbs for one half is 14.

Okay, here you go all of you pumpkin lovers:

Thanks Kate. Maybe my pumpkin cravings are trying to tell me something !

 

[Barb F.]

Ladies, I have 2 pieces of good news this a.m.


1 - I went this a.m. and had the needle aspiration done on my right oobbay. It deflated instantly (I got to watch on ultrasound machine), and he says it was nothing but a fluid filled cyst. I don't have to go back for 6 months.

2 - DH said he has noticed the weight loss and can see it in my clothes! It has only taken 13 weeks and 16 pounds, but I am on my way to thin!

Oh Beverly, I'm so happy to hear this. Your stress levels will now be going down a lot !

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

Beverly - THANK THE LORD!! Our prayers have been answered once again!!
I am so happy and relieved for you!

OK, so whats up with all the pumpkin stuff again? I thought Diane told us to stay away until step 3 except for a small Thanksgiving cheat? Did I miss something again! LOL, I hope Im wrong, that pumpkin mousse sounds AWESOME Tutu! I have a pumpkin bread recipe that is the most amazing thing...I get tons of requests from friends and family for it...starting now through christmas! I have had lots of pumpkin breads, but this one will make you swoon...and it is totally ILLEGAL for us and no way in "heck" to make it legal either!!! I end up making about 20 of them at the holidays...

OK, so I think I have definitely been proposed to...he has sent the "promise ring" in the mail, so I should receive that in a week to 10 days...it is NOT a diamond, as I have told him before I was not ready for that!! It is titanium, which I ADORE, (yes, he knew in advance I like titanium) so we shall see what the man's taste is like when it arrives!

Yes, Ken is Austrian, and English is actually his 3rd language, as he spoke both german and french until moving here 3 years ago. So I think he is doing pretty well with his English!!

Lisa - I am thinking about my reply, so will let you know if I decide to pulish it! LOL

Nell - so glad you are feeling good, thats great news!

 

[Wisteria1956]

Robin: Tutu's recipe is for Thanksgiving so it's better than a 'real' cheat, since it is an 11 - 20. Barb's has no pumkin in it, just flavoring. I ordered some of the pumpkin syrup. I'll keep you posted.

You don't have to publish your reply, tee, hee, just teasing. It's fun to hear about the romance!

 

[kater]

Yummmmm! I just bought Good Earth's Cocoa Chai Tea. It is delish! I like my chai with milk and honey but am having it with just a splash of 1/2 & 1/2 and some stevia.

Diane actually posted a crustless pumpkin pie recipe on her blog. I don't think you are going to get some of our MM friends off of the pumpkin topic!

I can't wait to hear about the promise ring. Does Ken know when he is going to be able to get back?

 

[Seabreezes]

Good Morning or maybe Good Afternoon!!

I tried to get on early (here) and I could not get connected. I have been having problems with the wireless connection so decided to use an Ethernet cable. Well, the cable I was looking for is in California so off to Wal-Mart I went. I now have a nice long cable that allowed me to get on-line. How our lives have changed when we now depend on the computer and proper connections to survive our day!!!

I put the nuts in an airtight container – but do not refrigerate them. They are never around very long, anyhow!

Lisa, if you want to use sugar free syrup – Walden Farm’s makes the most legal one. Most are sugar alcohols. That is a fairly common one at Raley’s.

Robin – the poem is lovely. Did he write it himself?? I have some special ones I have saved that my husband wrote. I think is sounds like a proposal!!

Beverly - all our prayers were answered. I am so happy for you and YAY on the noticeable weight loss!!

Hi Cindy – thanks for popping by. Have a great MM day. We miss you too.

Hi Laura – I think I missed the pumpkin mousse recipe. I will have to check it out.

Hi Nell – so glad you are feeling great today. Have fun in your garden – it will be lovely with all of the flowers you have received. Can't find a moose!

Robin - Diane posted the pumpkin pie in her blog and said it was fine. I made it and it was great!!

There are so many good things about pumpkin that maybe she reconsidered???? I know that counteracts what she said on the other site. Would it be too difficult to give us your pumpkin bread recipe. We might be able to come up with something that tastes similar. It sometimes has to do with the amount and kinds of spices. If not, we can treat our non-carb friends with it. I just bought several more cans of pumpkin while at Wal-Mart as it is a bargain there compared to the grocery store.

I am actually caught up with the posts. I am off to play bridge with hubby this afternoon so will be back on this evening.

Take care everyone.

I hate bra shopping! My bras have bat wings and I tried to measure from Victoria's Secret chart and the result is laughable. Grrrr. I guess I have to go try on a zillion bras to find my size again.

Yum. I love chai spices and the mix they use at Starbucks is so full of sugar. Thank goodness for plain chai tea!

I hate it too! It is really NOT fun.

Sorry, I misunderstood. There are times I use my dark chocolate as an 11-20 (before bed). Might not be the best choice, but it feels good!

If it feels good and is legal, you can't be too picky! Bev, I get headaches easily and when I get them they are in the morning a lot of times, so I've learned not to eat sweets at night. BooHoo! I used to love my ice cream, but it's not worth it. If it works for you, I say go for it - life's too short!

I noticed yesterday that the cups of my bras were getting a little "wrinkley", that is not where I wante to lose weight. They are definitely not too big around the band yet (theywere a too tight when I began).

Yep, I've got the wrinkle syndrome, too! Pretty deep ones, lol!

 

[Wisteria1956]

I had a VS gift card so I ordered a bra, but it should be diamond encrusted for what they cost. And I like a lot of different colors! I got just one-had to guess on the size.

My bras are fitting wonderful. They were all way too tight when I began. So far none are too big. It's so much more comfortable without them cutting into me.

Lisa, I know you already placed your order but some stores like victoria secrets will measure you when you go in and help you find the right size. If the one that comes doesn't work, maybe you have a store like that near by. It can be any lingerie store.

I have never bought a VS bra. I don't think they come in my size.

I know that is one thing my DH wouldn't mind me spending $ on.

Off to Zumba! See you later.
