Just a question Dawn....did she give you a percentage breakdown of where she wants your calories coming from? My surgeon's new nut. (wow, is she SMART!!!!) wants different percentages for patients at different stages of loss. I can't remember what she said for people who are still trying to actively lose but for maintenance she wants a 40/40/30 ratio. %carbs/protein, fats. Seems foriegn to me. I'm going to check the pie-chart on Sparkpeople to see where my 'lately diet' is these days.

Hang in there, you are doing hard work and I'm very proud of you for it!

Hugs!!!

Seriously, I think the recipe for apple butter is just apples and apple juice in a crock pot. You cook and stir all day long. However, the Polaner sauces...don't know if that could be made as yummy. I'd be happy to send you more. I've tried another brand of sf blueberry syrup and it doesn't even come close.

Got a whole slew of apples (well, ok...2 big bags) today to make homemade apple pie filling. I may even be brave and attempt to can it. !!! heehee The whole Cult of MaryJane's Farm has grabbed hold of me baaaaaad. ( http://www.maryjanesfarm.com/farmgirl-connection/ ) LOL Who knows, I may just try to make some apple butter while I'm at it. Altho...I have a whole bunch of uneaten sf pumpkin butter in my freezer still so maybe I'd better not.

Speaking of the wonderous P word....it is almost FALL!!!!! Can you stand it????

Hi Ladies! Here it is beginning of week 5! After the nutritionist visit last week I have been keeping a diary- GOOD and BAD...but instead of boring you with the details i have summarized.
I was shooting for 800 calories- Saturday was slightly more and Sunday was off the charts (with respect to 800 calories). I averaged 980 (that is with Sat and Sun) but the weekdays i have stayed between 775-875. I did 4.25 hours of cardio and 3 hours of stregnth in 7 days and the results .....i lost 3 pounds.

Beginning weight was 207, last 3 weeks was 206 and now 203! Odds are not real good that i will be at 199 by next wednesday but that is okay with me at least i am losing weight.

How is everyone else doing.

Ok Molls... gonna pick your brain.

You sent me some WONDERFUL SF apple butter once and those Polomar SF sauces...

Do you have recipes to make these items????? They are my favs by far and can't be found around here anywhere, I have looked! Once in a while I can get apple butter (sf) at a farmers market but even those are hard to come by it seems.

I love dried apple chips in the summer, there is a lady here that makes them using splenda and cinnamon - YUMO

OOPS meant to say FALL, not summer LOL

Hugs, Melissa

Whoa, very busy week and I totally forgot to weigh on Wed. but on Thursday I was up to 147. Sigh....overactive fork and TOM. Can't wait for it to be done already and start working the gain away. Blech! On the bright side, I just had 3 days off and it was heavenly! (although it went by too fast!)

Hope everybody had a good weekend. One of the many things I've been doing lately is playing farmgirl with my little garden and yard and finally harvesting some great stuff. Have been dehydratiing zucchini in big strips with the goal of making a lot of zuch. lasagne this winter. Nummy! Also made a lot of zuch. chips, dried fruits and other veggies. Also of course, have made a lot of sugar free jams.

It's been a fun summer overall but I'm ready for it to be done and starting to look forward to the holidays. Gonna start decorating for autumn on Sept. 1st. Woohoo!
