Like you, I am too old for TOM. The best part of being 50.

I too, would go for carbs when I didn't seem to lose, but I have discovered that if I hang in a day or two, or sometimes a week, I feel slimmer and low and behold, I drop a couple of pounds. I did well my first month, as people do, in June but July was awful. I seem to be back to losing again.

I have a great dessert I rely on. It fills you up and feels decadent.

Cream Cheese Delight

1 8oz pkg of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of Splenda
2 tsp of vanilla
1 cup of whipping cream

optional: 1 tsp of no sugar added jam

Soften the cream cheese, add in the sour cream and stir until there are no lumps. Add the splenda and the vanilla. Mix it all up well. Whip up the whipping cream and fold it in. Place it in 6 individual cups and add the jam if you want. Without the jam it's about 5 carbs each. I haveone everyday and I'm still losing!!! I just stir in the jam like yogurt. I love it. It makes me feel like I'm cheating without cheating.

Hope this helps. Hang in there.
