Hi Tina.
You might want to read this thread. It addresses the same question you asked:

Oh, and congrats to your weightloss!! :)

IF you are not in the mood to read, the answer is 1.2 carbs. You always subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols from the total carbs to get the "net" carb count. Your carb allowance (what ever it may be) is the net carb count.

Be warned, the sugar alcohols can stall some people, and send you running to the bathroom!
