I had never heard of a pretzel salad until I googled it. I'm presuming you could substitute sugar free jello and Cool Whip as well as Splenda. The pretzels??????

Hi Rose.  I'm doing great.  I've just (finally) dropped off a 3 month stall.  I didn't get frustrated or anything because I can easily live with the weight I am now - anything else is a bonus.  I think that around Christmas I got interested in food again but during the last week I noticed that I just didn't care about food.  I'd concentrate on protein and water and vitamins but really didn't care about what I ate.  That seems to be the key for me.

I usually make a protein cake on the weekend and eat it all week.  I keep it in the frig.  For a real treat I'll put a little cream cheese on it and sprinkle a packet of flavored splenda (usually vanilla).  That stuff is great.

I'm getting ready to take my first airplane trip since surgery and can't wait to see how I fit into the seat.  My last trip was so embarrassing and so uncomfortable.

I see from your chart that you're doing very well!  Are you feeling good, too?  I am.

Thanks everyone cant wait to try some!

 That's my recipe they featured (found here... http://eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/not-you r-grammas-rice-pudding/ )

The cottage cheese gives the FEEL to the rice pudding.  You don't notice the typical cottage cheese-ness that some don't like!

I've seen them online on sites that sell baking supplies, but I ran into a treasure trove of them at ROSS.  My favorite flavor is "Princess" which is a mix of vanilla, lemon and something else.  The orange is wonderful. They also had coconut, lemon, almond and others I can't remember now.  Because they don't have alcohol in them, you can use them in yogurt and don't get that sharp alcohol taste.
