Well I went to the store today and bought tons of veggies, eggs, turkey bacon, lean meats, pistachios and sugar free jello. I'm going to make the zero point ww veggie soup tomorrow leaving out the carrots so it is "sb". I'm actually looking forward to a mock danish. I used to post on a SB message board on AOL and it was great for recipes but now the boards have changed and I hate the way they are set up. Don't know why they needed to change such a good thing.

I quit smoking 10 weeks ago and have put on a pound for every week. I worked it out that by this time next year if i don't do something soon i will be 210 pounds, a thought that does not appeal to me or my other half.
I have started a high protein diet ( on advice of my doctor) for 4 weeks to jump start my metabolism and i have joined the gym which i am actually going to every other day.
I have never had to think about my weight before so this is a whole new concept for me.
I need all the help and advice i can get.

Yippee for you quiting smoking!! I seem to remember my ex-mother in law saying something about eating a lot of citrus when she quit after 50 years. She said the citrus curbed her appetite somehow--anyway, she only gained about 5 lbs. after the first year--and she did NOT exercise.
Maybe worth a try.

Ya'll are so much better than me with this whole new year, healthy eating thing...I just printed out a recipe for flourless chocolate cake, does that count????????
I make one that is so good.....but it has sugar. I have not had the courage to use splenda as my recipe calls for 21 ounces of dark chocolate. Do you think it would still be good? It is topped with a chocolate ganache....so yummy!

about the Splenda. I have never actually used it for baking. The one I printed out I have made too-it's Martha Stewart's recipe. It too is delicious. I also made some little "molten chocolate" tarts the other night--oh my, were they wonderful! I'm trying to put together a menu for some special guests and I'm having a hard time deciding what to make??????????

destindreamin said:Linda, that is wonderful! I too find that I lose the most weight this way-counting fat grams-although lately, I think I've been counting to see how many I can consume in one day!!I tried the SBD last summer and lost about 17, but then I started drinking at the beach--and eating--and I just kept right on through Christmas!
Well, technically there is no fat in liquor so it isn't off limits on my plan (well only stuff like Bailey's - 9 grams of fat in every shot!) Still, I try to limit it to the weekends only. That Cosmo avatar of yours is not helping me avoid it tonight - LOL!
