I am sorry that I am a month late in seeing this post but WOW. My jaw just hit the floor. BB, you look GREAT! I remember when you first started on WW and BCB and were ultra dedicated and motivated. Neither of those have waned at all and your progress is a prime example! KEEP IT UP BUDDY! :bcb_up:bcb_up:bcb_up

How'd it come out, Carol?? It "sounds" just like summer.

Rock on, BB!

Welcome to BCB and WW! We look forward to getting to know you and celebrate your success!

I think the tomatoes take away the "stuffing taste", honestly. I think it's more for texture and filler than anything. That's why I use the bread mix instead of the actual boxed stuffing mix, it's not nearly as strong.

I usually only counted the Windsor 20 minute Beginner as 1 AP. I don't sweat, and I never really got "winded." I count the full workout as 2 AP's. WTG getting back "on the wagon!" (And congrats on being a new mom!)

Just throwing my 2 cents in here: We used to eat Grape Nuts hot growing up - it was the only way. Boil milk and add the grape nuts, add some cinnamon and sugar and let them cook away for a few minutes. Yum-o! Being "grown up" now, I eat them cold (and hot when I am awake enough to cook them - weekends usually). You can nuke them for the same result though. I wonder if the Ezekiel would work the same way...

I am making this next week and like the idea of adding some extra veggies! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the imput. I've tried the Flatout wraps and didn't care for them when using in the sandwich arena. The texture was off to me. However, if you cut them up into triangles and toast them in the oven with some salt and pepper, maybe some garlic, they make GREAT chips. I like to crumble them onto a salad or for a dip. I haven't had the Hormel deli meats yet, but I love the Hillshire Farms Selects - they are $2.50 at Walmart for a container, or $1.89 for a box. They are 1 pt for 6 pieces of ham, turkey, chicken or roast beef. Really good! Blackbeard- haen't seen that ICBINB yet but I am going to keep an eye out for it.

Made this last night and it's a definite :bcb_up . Very easy and very filling. Bruschetta Chicken Bake 1 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of visible fat and cut into bite size pieces 1 can (14.5 oz) diced Tomatoes, Undrained 2 cloves of fresh galic, chopped (or 1 tsp garlic powder) 2 tbls dried basil leaves (I substituted Italian Seasoning) 6 oz Pepperidge Farm Herbed Stuffing Mix, whole grain or wheat mix 2/3 c water 1 c Part Skim Mozzarella cheese, shredded Combine tomatoes, garlic, seasoning, stuffing mix and water. In a baking dish, layer the cubes of chicken, followed by half of the stuffing mix, and half of the cheese. Repeat. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Makes 6 servings (approx 1 c each) for 6 points.

Congratulations!!

I am a few days late, but I just wanted to say Wow. I said it out loud when I read your stats and story...you've lost an entire person and that is beyond IMPRESSIVE. Maintenance has it's own challenges, but I am sure you will shine through and keep on chugging, given your already apparent unwaivering dedication and strength. Congrats Congrats Congrats! I just can't say it enough! Congrats!!
