Yeah I agree. Be really careful with the fruit. Oranges have a very high GI level and it could very well trigger a binge. How about an avacado? Lots of good stuff in the avacado and I find it to be filling. Or one of my favs celery and salsa. I use celery sticks and dip it like I would a tortilla chip. The celery is mild enough that you really don't notice it and you are getting a nice crunch.

Congrats on the loss Goldfish!

Thanks for the advice, and I like the sweet idea, Goldfish -- I feel pretty ready to have only one bar a day at Breakfast, and try some evening substitute. I think I will try blueberries (low g.i.) for my late night snack -- this weel and see how it goes. They seem less binge inducing than the l-c bars. Do any of you eat lc bars? Love from Ruby

I very rarely eat lc bars. I used to have one for breakfast with my coffee in the morning. I think they slowed my weightloss. So now, I carry one around with me in case I get hungry when I am out and about.

My favorite evening snack is a bowl of about 4 or 5 nice sized strawberries topped with whipped cream. YUM!!!

Yaberhoo, do you know roughly how many carbs are in strawberries?

A medium strawberry has just under a carb a berry. The carb counter above states it is .72 carbs per medium sized berry.

Roll call. How are we all doing? I am down another pound and a half.

Nice job Yaberhoo.

I am down 7lbs. since starting this challenge, will weigh-in again on Friday to see where I'm at.

Most excellent skylee! Congrats in getting to onederland!

Thanks Yaberhoo, when I started this journey I didn't realize how wonderful I would feel just making it below 200. It has been a great time.

Finding this forum was the greatest part of it all. Although I run short of time a lot of days and somedays I do not post. I am constantly looking around and continually amazed and inspired by others.
