can you actually look at other peoples stuff like their goals and stuff? or do they have to share it

Yo,

Well, I have a review of Better'n Peanut Butter. I tried some yesterday on rice cakes (which I actually like!). It certainly tastes peanuty, but it's thinner and easier to spread. I can't say I'm crazy about it because it's a bit sweet for my taste. It's significantly sweeter than regular peanut butter. However, if you like sweet things and you're not a peanut butter purist, you'd probably like it!

thanks I will at least give it a try

If I drive close to that store someday I'll buy it, too much trouble for me to go there just for that and then dislike the thing. I don't know if it's too sweet if I'd like it. Thanks for the review

Certainly! Trader Joe's is a great place for other stuff too. I do about half my food shopping there. The prices are reasonable, and they have a lot of their own-brand stuff. It's also a good place to get beer and wine.

Better'n Peanut Butter isn't super sweet, just sweeter than regular peanut butter. I read people's reviews of it on the Internet. Apparently it's a good substitute for the real thing if you're making peanut butter cookies. Or, maybe you could mix it with regular peanut butter.

(Or Cool Whip!)

I need to take a break from PB. They should have PBA meetings, for people addicted to Peanut butter I ate an entire jar this weekend, yes, in 2 days so now I won't buy anymore, I need to lose my fat and that's not helping

The only age limit I think is 18...there are definitely people at my Curves that are younger than me...

I am going to join once my job gets going and I am not broke anymore.

The last two days were not so good for me. Yesterday was my sister's bday so I had cake and lost of chips and today I skipped breakfast so I and I ate ####### all day. Tomorrow is a new day and back to my diet.

good luck and success today, Nizzy

I know for sure that I lose inches here and there and some weights but I don't understand that every time I weigh myself , the scale results same now... is building/adding muscles weigh too? I must don't make sense but I know someone out there (Nessa? Help! ) can tell me , I appreciate it, thanks!

yes it does. I'm facing the same problem. You gain muscles and lose inches at first then you start losing some real weight after some time. I am controling my food intake and I know I burn at least twice what I eat, some days even 3 times what I eat. Yesterday I was counting and I burned at least 3.5 x more calories than I ate. Don't worry about the weight on the scale. You'll notice your pants not being as tight and your muscles defined, that's the good stuff, not a number on a scale.

That makes sense.. I can wear my size 25 jeans now.. I only eat big meal on lunch and just a snack at night..same with Robin..oh Gary really dead serious with his work out and dieting..he is going to start using OXY-POWDER and maybe it helps flushing out all his fats restored for a long time..lets see!

Thanks a bunch Nessa..

[Nessa 23]

[Amby 490]

luz you're so cute you don't need to lose weight! Neil and I went for a walk last night around the block and we stopped when I started to freeze my azz off. My abs are still a bit sore from belly dancing but I have until Monday to recover from it. Besides this bacon talking to me and telling me to eat it I'm doing pretty good today. For breakfast I had 3 pieces of the ready to eat canadian bacon which only has 60 cals and it sure seemed like a lot of meat, half of an english muffin & some egg whites. Then I was badish when I ate the real bacon but since I only had 2 pieces I'm not going to be mad at myself. I brought lots of low cal snacks with me today because yesterday I waited too late to eat my lunch and I couldn't stop eating in the afternoon. For lunch I bought a cheapy like $1 Michelina's lean gourmet pizza to try.
