I'm Jenell, a 33yr old mom of three very active children! I will be finishing up my Bachelor's degree in Nursing this May 08 and continuing on for NP next fall. I also work at two local hospitals part time, so I'm VERY busy to say the least. I currently have about 25-30lbs to loose and I would be very happy with that, I could even go up to 40lbs and still be in the low-mid range for my height/frame, but I want to be realistic as well. I need a lifestyle change so that can be my long term goal
My best friend Michelle (momto3greatkids) talked me into joining SB todayshe is just starting as well. We were together all weekend and she explained it to me and it sounds like something that would really work for me at this point in my life. I did browse here about 6months ago or so but I was breastfeeding and I let that be just another excuse as to not start! I seemed to hold on to alot of weight while nursing.
BUT! anyway I'm finally ready and doing it with a great friend as well as a supportive husband and this board I know I can make it work!
I have to admit I skipped b-fast this morning since I didn't have anything in the house that I felt was SB friendly only b-fast cereals and toster pasteries! OUCH! since we were just on vacation visiting Michelle!) So after a quick trip to the store I had a delicious lunch!
2 romaine leave wraps with a slice of deli turkey breast, swiss and provolone, tomato and 3 spritz's of wishbone's new salad spritzers, red wine mist. (this I was not sure about! hope it was okay, does anyone use this?)
So now I'm on board and looking forward to being here!



Jenell,
Welcome to the board!! It's great to have a friend for support!
The salad spritzers are allowed. In fact, any salad dressing that has 3g of sugar or less per one ounce serving is allowed.
Check in often and let us know if you have any questions. Good Luck!
Hi Jenell,
I'm glad you're joining us.
Hi Jenell! Welcome!!! :)
Hi Karen - this is good to know about the salad spritzers. I had been avoiding them because they have HFCS. What are the guidelines for products with HFCS again?

Hi Erica,
The only requirement for bottled salad dressings is the sugar content. These are fine to use!
Hey sweetie
That signature is beautiful! How about we have one made of a picture of the two of us "in rare form" last week?! Ha ha
I know you can do it!!!
Love ya
