Ok...yippee day ONE!!

BB-I do NOT make butter from cream. I have in the past. I also do NOT drink buttermilk from the store. Serious, yes, ridiculous...only on purpose with words!! Use the flavoring in your shake. Try to eat very plainly maybe...it's only three days. Use the three day list. And If you NEED to do something else well, Nobody is gooing to SCREAM at you...'cept maybe you.. I really believe this is not an occassion to beat yourself up, but an opportunity to see where you really are and to mabye take another step forward. I don't believe you get the big whoosh that folks often get with Atkins. It's three days, not 2 weeks, and you can EAT carbs like vegies and good for you stuff. Definitely not Atkins. My guess is that we will lose a bit more water weight and hopefully it will stay away. Post what you like...food is always helpful...just to see what's going on. That's my opinion...GT?

GT- Yugoslavia? Too much strife there. All I have to do is go to Mendoccino County CA! It's right next door to Humboldt County, the Marijuana Capital of the World!!! And WHICH are you interested in...the VIAGRA or the BOTOX!! (I don't need puffy...puffy I got...but the viagra might be useful

Can't PM DJ, she doesn't post enough yet. (Took me awhile to figure that one out!) Leave a note for her in your thread BB and I will too.

As I said ^ up there, do what you gotta do with the food...you are the only one whose opinion really matters. This is YOUR (MY)diet/WOE/PLAN!!!
(See how not controlling and not anal I can be!!)
Stick as close as you can (or want) to the three day list and see what happens. I think the recipes are probably for later on in the diet after the first three days when you add the fiber and the good fats to a healthy level.

But I do ASK WHY???? Like GT, why do you use that fake cream stuff? And is it Sugarfree as well as fat free??? I was SOOO happy to go back to real cream from HALFNHALF, which is as low as I would go for WW. Just curious. AND, what IS your blood type, anyway...if that's not too personal a question.

I have a good recipe for "party potatoes ala Cauliflower." cook, mash, puree, whatever...add butter, cream cheese, sour cream...salt pepper paprika. Bake until brown on top. Can get you amounts if you are interested. It is NOT low fat!

Ok...so I am up against some hard moments here. Church starts today after the summer off. (made it through the meeting and the youth group ok yesterday) After church it's "Go in Peace but stay for Coffee", which amounts to ALL KINDS OF USUALLY HIGH CARB FOODS to put in mouth while visiting. I spell challenge U-N-I-T-A-R-I-A-N-COFFEEHOUR!!!!

Going to go pick blackberries this afternoon to make another batch of wine (wheeee! but it's not ready to drink yet BB!) Then out to dinner in LaConner WA...big tourist town, i am looking for a pillow shaped like an otter!! And I am getting a hair cut this afternoon. You guys care to share a picture of yourselves? I won't unless you do!! OK. Off to get all clean for church! Be back this evening!
