Thanks, Lori...Sucralose is splenda. I have a protein drink in powder that I really like, so I'll stick with it. I just loved the names of the flavors because I miss my frappechinos I used to get, but they are full of sugar. Oh, well, guess I'll keep looking. Thanks for checking for me. Lori

Good Afternoon to All My August Friends... How's everyone doing??? Are we all moving those butts???? I walked 3 miles today, had a protein drink & working very hard on sticking to the basics today.

Get those butts moving Control munching between meals Feel free to add more if you'd like Have a Great Day Tammy

I am soooooo ready for some football, Aunt Lori , and it is good to be back . We have our first home game tonight (high school), Bama kicks off this Saturday night (ROLL TIDE) and my nine year old has his first regular season game this Saturday as well. By the way, are you a Seahawk's fan? If so, are you a Shaun Alexander fan as well? We had a few classes together at The University of Alabama. He is such a nice guy. I have tons of stuff that he has autographed for my boys. You are so tiny!!!! You Skinny Mini! LOL, Sherry

Cute story about your sister, Tammy. I work for the government as well. I'm glad she is doing well. The baby and I walked a mile and a half on Monday and Tuesday night. My weight is fluctuating between 166 and 172. UGGGG! I have been this weight for a month. I hate plateaus. It looks like I would be used to them by now. LOL, Sherry

Hey Tam, Thanks for the congrats! Yeah, I was shocked when I tried on the 6's. They were quite tight on me but I wore them anyway! I will wait I think to wear them again until I lose a few more lbs. Here is a sample of what I eat in a day: 24oz non-fat sugarfree hazlenut latte on the way to work 6oz yogurt, Carb Freedom, with about a handful of flax seed cereal Lean Cuisine for lunch, or a salad 2 cheese sticks for a snack or a piece of fruit Dinner is usually some kind of meat, usually chicken about 2 oz, rice or potatoes (about 3 tablespoons if that) and a veggie (1/2 cup approx) My evening snack is usually popcorn, the low-fat kind, or a piece of fruit Some days it feels like I eat all day long! But I think my calories are at about 1000 or less usually. And I don't always get in my water. AND.... lately I have been forgetting my vitamins and calcium! Bad Lori!! I would love to plan a get together next year. I don't know where a good spot would be that is convenient for all. I am willing to go anywhere! Should be somewhere fun though huh? Vegas would be fun, but it can be expensive to get there these days. Hugs back atcha! Lori
