ballsnow good job on keeping up with alli while on vacation. Hope your having a great time. I am okay just a little stressed at checkin i weighed the same as the previous week. Owell time to work harder exercising and of course i need to drink my water.

 I am in love with red seedless grapes.  I put them in snack size bags as soon as I buy them and keep them in the coldest part of the fridge.  Kind of crunchy, definitely sweet, and keeps me busy.

This past summer, I put them in the freezer. Amazing.

I think I am just in love with food in general. :)

 Hi stepreflect, hang in there. Some weeks you don't lose anything on the scale, but your clothes will show that you lost some inches. And you are eating healthy and staying on the plan, good for you!!! 

Thanks for the support while on vacation. It's the hardest time to be on a diet plan while on vacation and going out to eat every night in restaurants wondering what to order next. I get sick of salads all the time. I've been ordering veggie fajitas in mexican restaurants, they are very good, and if you don't get the sour cream and guckamole (spell) they stay within my plan. YUMMY !!!  There should be a really good book out there on dieting and eating out. I find this the hardest thing ever!!!

 Hey, I am a beginner.  Have not started the "pill" yet, but have started the low fat/low calorie dieting.  I noticed you said your goal for February was the 4 to 6 glasses of water -- well, I have found that the easiest way to drink water is to drink one bottle, then refill that bottle three more times during the day and voila -- you have had your quota for the day.  It is so much easier to drink a bottle of water than it is to drink a glass, at least it is for me.  Thanks for all the snack listings because I was wondering how I was going to survive.  I did not realize there would be so many...  also, I have an AB LOUNGE which has been gathering dust for quite sometime, but I have it back out and it sure makes "crunches easy".  If I can just stay motivated to use it, it does work..

 Thanks for the idea of drinking from a water bottle 4 times a day

 I love sweet potatoes.  How do you make the chips?

 Rice Cakes are a great snack especially the Apple/cinnamon. To treat yourself, try adding a TBS of low fat Peanut butter spread thin.  You can have about 7 of the rice cakes with no calories or fat, of course the Peanut Butter adds a little fat.
