I also take a calcium with magnesium and fish oil too.

Thank you so much for the info...a lot to type, I was just hoping someone could point me to a sit on-line. But thanks so much for taking the time out to do that for me.

Florence, there is a little box below where you type that you can click on to remove your weight ticker. It automatically checked and very annoying.

Anyway, you aren't alone in wondering what on earth you're doing. So want to quit today, but I haven't and won't unless my doctor tells me to. Since that is highly unlikely to happen. . . I'm envious of everyone who can use artificial sweeteners!

Ok...thanks for talking so calmly...you releived my anxiety attack! LOL so this is the correct box....whats the quote box?? and no your not going to quit, I though you can use sugar in the next phases, not regular sugar, but what about that natural brown sugar, in moderation?

Hi Jill! Hi Florence and to anyone else that is here! Hey Diane...is it because you get headaches that you can't use the sugar subs?

Florence, looks like you are doing the forum right. The quote button is just for when you want to answer or respond to a specific question.....kinda like you did to the food list that I put on here.

Go back a few pages and look through...I think it was Jayne that posted a great site for recipes. I just printed off a bunch of them and went to the grocery store to get the ingredients. That site is awesome!

Maybe I will go back and look for it and re-post it.

Here it is: Recipes - South Beach Friends Wiki
Lots of great recipes!

Okay cool...I've got to get going...but I'll be back eventually...thanks so cool, I'm hoing to get my food tomorrow.

Ohhh shoot....LOL Yeah, there ya go, I'm goin hoing for food...........LOL and there you go again....get away 2 lbs!
