I agree with jenna on this one, nicgirl...I think that as long as they aren't used all the time, they would be fine for filling in when you are having trouble or not sure what else might work. I think almost anything that you buy already prepared like that is going to have higher sodium, and that is too bad because if it weren't for that, they would be perfect! lol!!

I know it is so difficult to figure out what to eat when you are cooking for a family....they never want the "good" stuff, only the stuff we really shouldn't have! lol!! In those cases, I just try and use plain old moderation....eat what is available, but in moderation....it isn't the best way, but the best way for me. I might add in something to the meal that is mainly for me, like adding in a fresh vegetable where they want some sort of potato or something...a lot of times they end up eating what I fixed too so it all works out. Or maybe I will have a salad instead of what they are having....you will find things that work for you, I'm sure, it just takes a little time.

Thanks Patty, so patty when you are loosing inches does it show up and the scale? i wanted to know because i am loosing weight slowly but my pants size is going down.

Well, I am not having very much luck with either of those right now! lol!! I started a new exercise program a couple of weeks ago and actually went up on the scale!! I waited because they said it would get better, but it didn't so I stopped doing it yesterday...this morning my scale was back down 4 lbs.!! Go figure! lol!!

I haven't really kept good track of my measurements like I have my weight, but I have noticed that even when the scale slowed down, the clothes were still fitting differently.

I think it is all a matter of the weight redistributing itself and the fat turning into lean muscle. The more we work on it, the more we will lose in both lbs and inches. Maybe not at the same time, though! lol!

Keep it up, you are doing a great job!!
