Weekly Weigh-In

According to the scale this morning, I am down to 201.0 ! Woo-hoo! I am surprised, because I really didn't think I had done very well this week, due to other things we had going on.

Here are some of my food finds this week:

Wegman's Fat free Garden French Dressing
Serving Size - 2 Tablespoons, Calories 60, Fat calories 0, Sodium 410mg (17%), Total carbs 15g (5%)


This was probably the best fat-free dressing I've tried. I usually avoid them because I don't like the texture or after taste, but this one is very good.

My favorite low-fat dressing is Ken's Lite Country French.












Another thing I decided to do when starting this challenge, was broaden the spices we use. So I ordered some things from Penzey's Spices.

I thought we would do better using rubs instead of sauces. The Jerk seasoning was yummy, I did that on boneless chicken breasts. Then, Grimjack made chicken salad with the leftovers and that was good as well.

The seasoned salt is very good on popcorn.


I use the 'I can't believe it's not Butter' spray sparingly on the popcorn, and then sprinkle on the seasoned salt. Although the spray butter is fat- and calorie-free when used as indicated on the bottle, do not over-use it. Apparently the whole bottle is like 800 calories, according to some health expert on the Today show yesterday.

Good luck this week, everyone!

Wyatt, h2o, Sssteve, April - Thanks!

LA - there is a Penzey's store nearby so I plan to run in there - so much nicer than online shopping, when you can see and smell everything!
