Tips to remember:
Know your portion sizes beforehand, and if you aren’t sure, use measuring cups and spoons!

Avoid mindless snacking in front of the TV, reading, or while driving
Stock up on healthy options and avoid shopping when you are hungry to decrease temptation in the store.

Not moving is better than moving up a pound or two!

what is that?

Cajun Cornbread Muffin, less than 100 calories but it has flour in it. I think flour is a problem food for me.

I like corn only popped :) when made into flour it feels heavy to me.

deb i am amazed that you are doing so well while still having the carbs and *flour* (gasp) it's my enemy!

I tend to keep my carbs between 125-160 grams a day, but a lot of that has fiber in it, so it's good for me. I like to have one piece of homemade Biscotti as a snack, but I make sure it has healthy fiber in it, like slivered almonds or ground walnuts. I started a topic called "Biscotti recipe" in the "Diet Talk" section of the Forums if you want to see the recipe I am changing up to suit myself. :) I haven't had any Biscotti lately because for every piece that I ate my daughter was eating two pieces, so it did not last long. lol Some time I want to make it again and add sesame seeds and other fiber things that might be interesting. You know there is a spice called cardamom that is in powder form and also not powder form, kind of tiny seeds so I've been thinking about using that as a flavor. It's all talk. It might be two months from now when I get time to make it.

Argh! I hate it when you want to post a link and FS does not let you!

that sounds delicious! in the middle east cardamon is used regularly in desserts and pastries as well as tea. also india . . . i was thinking of making flax / fiber crackers . . .. . . i might eat too many if I do .. . . i'm sticking to mostly raw veggies for now . . . i envy your carb intake! maybe i can actually get away with eating more carbs??? i'll have to try it since i've been exercising more it might work!

agreed! i don't know what's up with that! and i don't know how people get pictures up either!

If it's not budging this week, maybe next week it will go down twice as much! =)

I hope my weight goes down twice as much! I need to lose more than 2.4 lbs to be successful in my 10% Over 12 Weeks challenge. Can I lose that much in one week? Inquiring minds want to know! 
16 Jun 14 by member: Deb_N
You can but I once heard you can't lose more than 700g of fat a week so if you would it might not be an all fat loss. Water loss wouldn't matter but you don't want to lose muscle:-). 700g is roughly 1.5 pounds.
