 jackiee 12 years ago | Hi everyone, hope this finds you all well.
RADISSON, well come back, Brilliant news that you lost weight on your holidays, your the first person I’ve heard say that on here, good on you. Also glad you got sunny weather and that your returned with it too, your be able to get the barbque going good style now. I have been getting some exercise, trying skipping (not very good though), getting bike out more now too with spring here and walking when my ankles permit but no more weigh lose so far. But have appointment to get my thyroid level checked out as that seems to knock things out of sorts a lot. Glad your back.
KATIE, good to here you used your computer down time so wisely, sounds like it was a blessing in disguise, giving you incentive to reshuffle the house a bit, I love when I do a wee reshuffle.
HORSELOVER, well done on the weight lose…sounds like your doing well, so why change. I assume you hit the rehash button at the end of the food item to give different alternatives to that food item. I know you can swap lunch for dinner ect but not sure about your full menu but I’m sure Ossie will give you her advice soon.
Hope everyone is doing well, hope you all have a great weekend. |

 Radisson 12 years ago | Hi Seaborngirl! You have been active on the site lately. I hope you found a good alternative equipment for your sleep ailment. |
| Radisson 12 years ago | jackiee: You have been very busy coaching! Have you kept up your exercise program? |
| Radisson 12 years ago | ppeddle: Congratulations on your new assignment! |
| Radisson 12 years ago | Hi Apensa! Its been awhile, read a lot of your comments. While I was in Florida we used Pepperidge Farm 15 Grain Bread which is sold at Publix. Have you ever tried it? |
| Radisson 12 years ago | slimasharon: I’m having the tomato version for lunch, also I will have a glass of wine with that. |
| Radisson 12 years ago | slimasharon: Hope you feel better soon! When I’m down I prepare soup with either Beef or Chicken Fat free/no salt added broth: 900 ml/about 30 ounces of broth, sliced thin: 1 medium carrot, 1 or 2 celery stick, 1 or 2 small onion stick. If you like tomato soup instead: use a larger pot, double or triple veggies and add 680g/24 ounces of La San Marzano Strained Tomatoes with Basil. Season with fresh ground pepper to taste and a dash or two of sea salt. With that you can have a portion of low fat cheese and Brown Rice crackers. Enjoy! |
| Radisson 12 years ago | Hi everyone! I’m back from Florida and brought back warm weather… Lost 3 pounds just eating and drinking sensibly. I don’t follow the program to the letter but I read product labels and shy away from high sodium, sugar, fat and enriched white flour contents. It took a while to discover Publix organic food section and to find suitable SWG products. I always have my French wine for lunch and dinner and still managed to keep the weight down. Voilà! I’m trying to read all your comments busy bees and I will get back to you. |
 stgeofun 12 years ago | Ossie,
I think you missed my question…I was wondering if I could substitute oat flour for rice flour in the coco banana pancake recipe. I prefer the oat flour, however, I do have both now.
Thanks |
 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, jcdkemp. Thanks for the details. I did the calculations, and you are getting the minimum the program offers. It is challenging at any level of food without exercise because it causes changes in the body that favor weight gain no matter what.
There are actually quite a few people in the Club who have exercise limitations, and all have come away with workable options. In addition, a new “member” has been added to the forum – Meagan – who is a certified fitness consultant. I will forward your name to her. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, davande01. What you are requesting absolutely is in progress as I type. The team is putting the final touches on the print function, so stay tuned…
You will probably find that it is similar to diabetic food guides, but with a minimal level of food combining based on the latest medical research. Basically, just to combine carbohydrates with proteins as much as possible, and when not, that the carbohydrate is a good source of fiber.
If you don’t want as many recipes, be sure to click on the box that asks how if you want just a few recipes – very important! I have also requested that more options be given for exchanges; in the meantime, however, just swap out whatever you want from the same food group as listed in the Menu Planner.
For recipes, go for anything with “Classic,” “Homemade,” “Basic,” or “Simple” in the title – those are our most popular for most folks. As for your own, once the Menu Planner adds exchanges to our menus, you can start planning your own recipes; in the meantime, however, try swapping out similar recipes. |
 apensa 12 years ago | JoMB….the last time I tried to make bread, the US Army offered me a good deal because it was more like some secret weapon used as cannon shells. Acually, Ezekiel’s bread sort of reminds me of it. |
| stgeofun 12 years ago | My computer has been down for a few days, so I have not been online. However, I want to report that when I stepped on the scales today, I was down another pound…that makes 11 pounds for me so far! It still is very slow, but seems to be “sure”. I’ve been on the program since January 28, 2013.
While the computer was down, I rearranged my whole house. My computer was in this cabinet, which was very difficult to access all the plugs to the computer. I get so stressed every time something goes wrong with it and I have to struggle to get behind the cabinet and in between the cubby holes to disconnect everything. So this time I threw the towel in! I now have my computer in my bedroom on a desk and purchased a small table to accomodate all the aparatus. I took the large cabinet out of my living room, put it in my guest room, and filled it with all my CDs and DVDs, which were in tacky metal holders in my front room. I brought an over-stuffed chair out of my master bedroom, added it to my livng room, and love the new effect! It has made my front room much more cozy and inviting! So good things do come with hard work! lol
Ossie…I have a question for you. I occasionally make the coco banana pancakes (which I love), but when I first made them I didn’t have any rice flour so I used my oat flour. I have since bought the rice flour, but still prefer the pancakes made with oat flour. Does it matter which one I use? I always blend up a few strawberries to put on them and they are so yummy!
Have a great day, everyone! And good luck with this program! |
