Great job! 

I am very new to this so please forgive if I mess this up!! Thanks so much for the comments...it is slooooow but at least moving? You both have great losses also, CONGRATS to you too!!! I am going grocery shopping and I love all the recipes or new foods to try that are listed here. Thanks again I love the responses all so quickly how nice.  

Thank you. I have joined! My first question is when you crave something sweet what do you have beside sugar-free jello? 

Actually I learned that if you are craving something sweet, you should eat something salty like a pickly spear or olives. The complete opposite will usually do the trick. 

LOW CARB CHEESECAKE!!!!!!! It's my fave! If you want the recipe i'll be more than happy to give it to you! 

One more thing - you don't ever have to apologize for asking a question. We have all at one time been new. How else will you know if you don't ask. So thank you for asking.  

Thanks for all the great info. I sure would like the cheesecake recipe. Never thought to do the opposite eat salty.  

Cheesecake- 3 8-oz blocks of cream cheese at room temp. 3/4 cup splenda 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla Mix cream cheese and splenda until it's smooth Add eggs and vanilla and mix again until smooth and creamy Butter a spring form pan, put the mixture into the pan and even it out. Bake at 325 for about an hour but start checking it at about 35-40 mins. Mine only cooks for 40-45 mins because i'm at such a high altitude! It doesn't have a crust (although if you're not in induction you can mix some almonds and butter together and it put in on the bottom! I suggest letting it cool in the fridge for a day or so. Thats when it's the best! I hope you enjoy it! I sure do! Oh, and it's about two and a half total carbs per serving with 8 servings! =) 

Thanks so much Ashley, I am going grocery shopping now and will try to quench my sweet tooth. Have a great day everyone!!!
