    Gross..........you can make fruit bread without sugar and you get the sweetness from the fruit but zucchini bread needs somthing. Don't waste it though make it into bread pudding and eat it for breakfast or as a snack. I do that with muffins or breads when I am tired of eating them as muffins or bread. If I have corn muffins I add ginger and cloves and it tasts like indian pudding.

    Bread Pudding
    1 1/2 c cubed bread
    1 c milk
    1 egg
    1/2 tsp vanilla
    2 tbsp sugar.
    1 tsp cinnamon

    Heat oven to 350. Put bread in a pan. Wisk together the milk, egg, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the bread. Bake for abotu 30 minutes or until set.

    That's a great idea! Thanks!

    You really did good. Keep it up!

    OK I AM BACK................ I have been doing so good this week if I don't lose something then I might just do liposuction on myself. I havn't nibbled or cheated NOT ONCE. This is today

    Breakfast........... Oatmeal 1/2 jar baby pears
    snack........... carrot sticks
    lunch........ cream of broccoli soup with melted cheddar cheese
    snack......tea and biscotti
    dinner........pasta with fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic a drop of olive oil and grated romano cheese

    MY FAV SALAD.........lettuce, dried cranberries, roasted red pepper, onion, manderian oranges with creamy rasberry dressing (it tastes like dessert to me)

    Snack........... plain popcorn no butter or salt air popped in the microwave in a brown bag.

    Bedtime snack........... yogurt with 1/2 banana.

    during the day if I get hungry I drink about 4 oz milk.

    Tru,

    It looks good to me but it also looks like it is pretty low in calories. Hopefully you will lose this week. If I were you and if I didn't lose anything this week, I would add some calories in there. Too low of calories can put your system into starvation mode and that is not good for you. Just my 2 cents.

    I am hoping for a loss for you this week!!

    These past few days have been busy. My food plan is going OK but little to no exercise. I am trying to finish up a baby quilt to give as a gift Sunday afternoon at a baby shower. Worked on it this evening until I broke a sewing machine needle and decided that was a sign to give it up for the day. Monday I will start back to exercising with a passion. I lost weight several years ago by treating exercise as a job. It worked.
    Have a great weekend.

    My mother and I are working hard to get our eating plans fixed up. I've really learned a lot.

    1. Measure everything. Serving sizes are enough, butthey aren't quite as large as I thought.

    2. Eat every 2 hours. Once you get used to it, it really feels great.

    3. In order to get all the nutrients my body needs, I need to eat lots of different foods. I can have a lot of food, but I need to eat little bits of lots of different foods within the same group. Example: Instead of 2 cups of greenbeans, I will feel better and be happier if I eat 3-baby carrots, 5 slices of cucumber and some fresh tomato slices. The more colors and flavors on my plate, the more likely I will get the nutrients I need.

    4. Plate your food on pretty dishes! Make eating a fun activity and you will be more likely to enjoy it.

    5. Planning and preparing food is a big job. It isn't any more work to cook 2 batches instead of one. Serve one and freeze the other part. A great way to plan an evening off duty.

    I'm sure I'll learn more.
