Grapefruit Diet Blog & not only!

Hi everyone,

    I am so proud of myself today I just had to share. First thing is when I got up this morning I weighed myself and I have lost 4 pounds. I started my journey around three months ago and so far my total lost has been 7 pounds. I know it is not much and I have tons more to go but wow this is nice. I just hope I can keep on going. Also thanks to Hazel’s suggestion I got in my 8 glasses of water today. First time ever. I do have to admit I almost quit after around 5 glasses or so but I kept on telling myself that I am not a quitter.

Sorry just had to share.

Today was the best day I had since my husband passed. I got up early cut the grass. Clean the pool. Felt good. My sister came with her daughter. I wish we lived in the same town. The house was noisy and they were laughing almost forgot about my grief. I went to the church to decorate the hall We are having a celebration for our pastor Sunday. It was like old times. I did good point wise. A little low.

A year ago I started taking Celexa, I started gaining weight. My doctor said to exercise more and go on a diet. I have tried different diets without loosing one pound. I am also working out four to five days a week.I have recently switched to wellbutrin sr because I knew my weight changed when taking celexa. I have not seen any changes in my weight, and my boyfriend left me because I put on 45 and have not been able to loose the weight.He says I am just overeating.I don’t know if takig antidepressants is helping me since I get really depressed when I hear coments about my weight and the fact that I know how hard I work to loose it. I started taking the vitamin E and the omega3 . I sure hope it works. Before I had done any research I was going crazy because no one believed what I was telling them.

I am looking for recipes for healthy low point fruit smoothies-i would like to drink them in the morning. Thanks for any suggestions! nicole

My favorite breakfast is a bagel with cream cheese. I use the “Western” bagels, Cinnamon Spice(sold at Publix), which are only 1 point and then I make my own cream cheese (usually on the weekends) by using 8oz Fat Free Cream cheese and a handfull (probaly no more than 20) frozen mixed berries that I have pureed in the blender. Sometimes I will add splenda depending on my mood. This is really good and tastes just like the full fat stuff and it is 0 pts for 2 tablespoons, so the whole breakfast is only 1 pt. Or splurge and have two of them for only 3 pts (2 for each bagel and 4 tablespoons of cream cheese = 1 pt). This is fast and tasty. Sometimes I don’t even cut and toast the bagel I simply dip it into the cream cheese and eat it while I finish getting ready in the morning.

Hi all,
I do farmers Market, and I have been asked to make some baked goods like quick breads, bars, ect. I would like to use splenda or maybe stevia, and suggestions would be great of course some recpies, My daughter is on weight watchers so every thing will be used, these people are on a diabetic diets, but I thought maybe there are some of you out there that have that too.

Thanks a bunch Debbie in Nebr.

Hellmann’s is the way to go! Of course it has always been my favorite mayo.

1 pt per tablespoon - Hellmann’sR Light Mayonnaise: I can’t tell the difference at all between this and the regular stuff.

1pt for 2 tablespoons - Hellmann’sR Just 2 Good!R Reduced Fat Mayonnaise: I just bought this because it is half the fat of the light! Haven’t tried it yet.

I love salmon but I am not a huge fan of canned salmon. I recently discovered skinless boneless Salmon in the easy to open pouches. Chicken of the Sea makes the one I tried. It is very good and very low in points. Throw some into a spinach salad and you have a great lunch or dinner!

HI all,
I seem to recall seeing chocolate pumpkin muffins that are low in
points and only a few ingredients.
There was one that only used a can of pumpkin and 1 pkg of choclate
cake mix. I am not sure the points in it.
Can anyone help me out?
Does anyone know a recipe that has made with chocolate? (I am craving chocolate right now)
Thanks!
