Week 8 Weigh In Results

Its now week 9 and Saturday morning I had my weigh-in for week 8.  I lost another 2.5 lbs!  Thats a total loss of 33.5 lbs and on top of that, Ive lost a total of 5 inches from my waist!  Not bad for two months work, if I do say so myself. 

For Easter today Ive made a Medi-Friendly dessert to bring to my grandmothers house.  Its actually an old recipe of hers that Ive adapted to fit into my Medi-Weightloss plan.  Check out the recipe below & Enjoy!

1 small box (0.30 oz) sugar-free orange Jell-o, as packaged
1 can (15 oz) Del Monte No Sugar Added Mandarin Oranges made with Splenda, drained

Thaw  frozen Cool Whip in the refrigerator until creamy.  Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl & refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Makes about 8 servings, 1/2 cup each.  [Nutrition Info per serving: 128 kcal, 3g fat (3g sat fat), 2.5 mg cholesterol, 233 mg sodium, 45 mg potassium, 18g carbs (0.5g fiber, 6g sugar), 7.5g protein]  Note that the mandarin oranges account for the majority of carbohydrates and also include sugar alcohol which is shown to not negatively impact glucose levels but can cause some abdominal discomfort if eaten in quantity.
