 annaleeramos 12 years ago | Great Job Bev. I am so cheering for you. I have not weight today, and don’t want to do so till Monday morning. It is going to be 23 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t think I am going to go out for a ride on my bike in that. I will look up some exercises that my bones can take for tomorrow. I had a great breakfast with the coco banana pancakes and 1/4 cup of greek yogurt. mmmmm…. Twas good. Have a great day everyone, and I will read all later. Oh. Today is my daughters birthday, and was wondering if it would be ok to partake in a small portion of birth day cake and if I need to replace something in my meal because of it. Thank you. Anna |
 Rebeccadors 12 years ago | I joined 3 days ago, taking the bull by the horns. I have to loose weight for an operation in 12 weeks. My blood pressure was a little higher than the gp wanted, but not enough for medication. I have read up on the net of the sort of gentle activities I can do, but also the healthy eating. This plan meets all of my requirements , so far a whooping 5 lb lost. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Yes it’s confusing but take a day at a time, I have downloaded all the information, and the mp3 version. The more I listen and read, the more I understand. |
 Feef 12 years ago | Hello all!! I have just joined ten minutes ago!! and I am looking forward to a brand new, happier, healthier me!! Fiona. 🙂 |
 darlisa 12 years ago | Good morning, I joined 1/12/13 and have been reading over the material. I find it overwhelmed as well, but determine to give it a try. I am looking forward to this week as I start my food menu. |
 nanbreslin 12 years ago | Thank you Purpleskye. I appreciate the help. I am a breast cancer survivor. My husband and I made a commitment to eat healthy starting the New Year 2013. It is a challenge when you are learning about new foods and a new way of eating. I am glad I found Trim Down Club and the community to help us along a healthier path.
Thanks again and Happy Healthy New Year…..

 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Absolutely – any type of fish is a good protein. Remember: 1 oz is an exchange, just as it is for chicken and beef. A reasonable portion is 3-4 oz, about the size of a deck of playing cards (after cooking). |
 lmgslvr 12 years ago | Hi. I am enjoying the challenges of these new (to me) recipes. Now I am wondering if I can substitute a simple grilled fish such as sword fish, haddock or shrimp for a dinner protein. I haven’t seen anything except tilapia and flounder on the list. |
 Seaborngirl 12 years ago | Thanks Ossie…getting it sorted.
I have lost 3lbs…yay!!!! 1.3 kilos! Nearly twice as much as my little granddaughter weighed at birth!!!! Haha….Now to keep the momentum going! That will be the hard part!
Hope you are all sailing well today…Bev. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Yes, you can add 1-2 tsp of something like light cream cheese if it does not appear on your menu. It is built into the menu that a few spreads/condiments will be added here and there. |
 purpleskye 12 years ago | hi NANBRESLIN…i am a coeliacs..and almond meal is much corser then almond flour..that might explain why your gluten free cookies didnt work…love and light. |
 cntwall 12 years ago | I have a question for anyone, does anyone know if you can take ingredients in your menu and add something small to it without repercussions from it? For example my menu has a bagel but with no option of putting cream cheese on it, bagel with no spread doesn’t sound very good and when i went to try and exchange it so I could have the bagel with a spread there was no option |
 Doryssb 12 years ago | Also, once it generates a menu for you, each item will have a little symbol (looks like a refresh button) to the side of it. You can click on that and it will off substitutes for that particular item. Sometimes the combinations seem a little weird and that button comes in handy 😉
Happy 2013 to you too. |
