"Teddy Bear"... 2 Lbs... Take pics!!!!!!! for meeeeeeeee.... You're doing Great... Keep up the Good Work!!!! Skinny... HeHeHe

I was thinking that this might help you too, Mel. If you could get past the initial 72+ hours that James talks about on the videos, maybe you'd get some "balance" with the sugars... Where does he usually post?

Wow, Diana... Your "Moms Night Out" sounds Great... good food & friends! I'd love the recipes too! What happened with the Margaritas... was it too much sugar? too much in general? I've only had "some" wine and sangria only since WLS. There seems to be too much member bashing on OH... too bad... very sad... That's why I love it HERE! You'll really like the videos! Ro

Hi Diana, Here is a link for the noodles: http://www.house-foods.com/tofushirataki_faq.html I get mine in the coolercase section of the grocery store where the tofu is but not all grocery stores carry it. The local health-foods-type store here, Huckelberries, has it in spaghetti shape and egg noodle shape. It is a bit rubbery and is made in really long strands so you have to cut it before you eat it or you'd be slurpring forever. The rubberyness doesn't put me off at all...I always cook our pasta really al dente anyway. To my tastebuds it has no taste at all after you rinse it well and only takes on the taste of whatever you put on it. Here is a link for the PB2: www.bellplantation.com The PB2 is powdered peanut butter that has 75% less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. People on the WA state mb love it so much that they go in together and buy a case of it at a time to save money. Hope you get a chance to try these! Molly

Hi Mel, I figured he must be pretty active on the internet with a wls site somewhere as much as he has educated himself on nut. I don't know if I will all-out try his plan but am going to try to rethink my meals to make them more balanced as he said. At the very least, that is a good way to keep conscious of what I'm putting in my body and that's a good thing! When he talks about maintaining blood sugar levels I really thought about you and wondering if watching the combination of proteins and complex carbs would help you. He probably gets a lot of flack from the 5DPT people because in the video he alludes to concerns about that plan just backfiring when you go off of it. The stuff about the body feeding the fat cells was so fascinating and the way he put the info about exercising being the way to get the body to open up and rid the fat cells made so much sense. I mean, it is the same stuff I've heard for years but the way he put it just came out better. When do you get your new computer? Hope it will be soon! Sounds fun. I am trying to wrap my non-techno brain around finding a way to download his videos and put them on my Zune. Bet it can be done! Molly
