Congratulations, Wendy.  You have really made this plan work for you.  Pam

Thanks everyone.  You know it is funny how when I look in the mirror I still see myself as heavy like always.  It took fitting into these clothes to make me realize I really am  losing alot of inches.  I wonder when I lose and get thin if I will ever see myself as thin!
I hope I am right on my adding the lbs lost  with the change of scales but if I am off it is only by 2 lbs so forgive me if I am not exact on the lbs.

Wonderful! Your Easter Sunday church outfit will be far more satisfying than if you had to buy  a new one.  You are doing so well because you have been so good about experimenting and creating with LDL approved foods.

64 pounds is exact enough  and an amazing weight loss.  I love reading your posts and all the new recipes that you come up with -- keep them coming!

Wendy,
How did you like the Parsey-Garlic Roasted Salmon.
I have some to fix and was thinking of using this recipe

[wendysgoodnews]

I love it!  I could just keep eating it and not stop at one salmon steak.  I wanted to save some for my husbands lunch for this week but was so tempted to eat part of it.  Even the smell why it is cooking is just heavenly.

I make extra of the sauce so after cooking it can be spooned over fish for even more flavor.  I always add extra garlic because I love the tasste of garlic.

We ate quickly this morning and then went to church.  I was so hungry when I got home I ate a handful of strawberries before going out to eat.  We then headed to Missoula with friends and ate at Cracker Barrel.  After we ate we went to a large church that was doing the Passion play of Christ.  It was so good and I was so glad we went.  When we got home at 9:30 pm we were starved so ended up eating fruit to tide us over till morning.

B:  Eggs, chili & cheese
L:  Cracker Barrel Chef Salad w/ sweet onion dressing
D:  Fuji Apple
    Bowl of Strawberries

I ended up making Taco soup with black beans and pinto beans.  I usually use red beans but didn't find any and found I loved the black beans in it.

B:  Egg & Pizza Sauce omelet
    Sm. Glass Grapefruit juice
L:  Fuji Apple
    Taco Soup
D:  Left over Parsley-Garlic Salmon
    Strawberries

On one of the threads on the Question section Mary mentioned that red kidney beans usually have sugar added and often even corn syrup. I'm not sure if that is the case for other red beans, I was using red kidney beans a lot.
So I bought black beans instead today. I'm glad to hear they worked well for you.
Your new picture is lovely!

Boy you know you are hooked on LDL when even in your dreams you are eating healthy and resisting cookies even though they were my very favorite ones.LOL

[Gwennaford]

Good Job!  I agree -- your pic looks awesome. 

How to you make the sweet onion dressing?  I haven't tried to look it up yet to see if it's posted.
