HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope that you are all healthy and happy this holiday season and if traveling that you are safe. Looks to be nasty towards the southern parts of Iowa. My kids wi**** was snowing up here, and have to admit I do too just ready for it since it's the holiday and this year I will be able to more with them. We went sledding last year and it was fun but after two times down and climbing up the hill I was done. I hope to outlast them this year!! Again Happy Holidays and if any of you are craving pie, I've done the pumpkin pie recipe on the can pumpkin and just substitued splenda in for sugar, AWESOME! Also a question have any of you tried the splenda for baking, I was going to try some recipes then I saw it had real sugar mixed with splenda and didn't want to risk dumping with that. Another little note down 110 lbs as of this week Just have to keep it off going through the weekend. Still want to lose 55 more to my goal

Leslea: Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Congratulations on your great loss I'm right behind you with a - 109 lb loss so far!!! It seems like I saw an artificial sweetner at the store that was specifically for baking, not sure what it was called, but I don't think it was splenda? I'll have to look again. My husband is diabetic, so even before surgery, I tried to bake with sweetners and it seemed they always baked away. Happy holidays!! DeeAnn

Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family We had our Thanksgiving earlier this month & I had 3 pies baked with Splenda. I'm still as my son's significant other had told me beforehand that she HATES Splenda it gives off an aftertaste, she LOVED the pie & still doesn't know it was made with Splenda!!! I have heard the baking Splenda makes people dump. I haven't tried it personally so can't tell you. To me it's an individual thing, no 2 people are alike. You go girl Congrats on your weight loss And here I thought I was doing so good down 75 lbs!!! Keep us posted & keep up the good work. Hey DeeAnn you go girl Both you gals making me envious but I'll catch up to ya Happy Thanksgiving, Carolyn

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Wow girl you are doing fantastic!!! I have no doubt that climbing that hill to go sledding will come alot easier for you this yr. I myself haven't been sledding for yrs just might have to try it again! I like Carolyn just use the straight splenda for cooking and baking so I don't know anything about the half sugar/half splenda stuff but remember you only have to try it once lol! Im going to be coming your way soon, am taking my son for a college visit to Kirkwood hopefully within the next couple of wks, would love to have lunch with you...what do you think? Let me know if we can set something up ok. Hope you have a great day, Janet Schmidt
