This sure feels like a lot of strawberries!

Sandy,

That's exactly how I measure them! And I'm losing quite well, so I don't

intend to change my ways! Aren't they positively scrumptious?

According to the Food Companion it is 1 1/2 cups whole or sliced (it doesn't say

how). Personally I weigh them on a digital scale. According to the frozen

package it is 140 grams per serving.

Strawberry facts, please ...

Hi everyone. I haven't introduced myself (I'm Sandy), and, honestly, I

don't want to start out talking too much, because that always seems to

jinx me. I brag about how I'm going to do so great, crash and burn in

the next few days or weeks, then slink off in shame and embarrassment.

So, I figure that THIS time I will ask my questions when necessary, hold

my brags and self-aggrandizement, so that when I feel myself skidding

wildly out of control I won't be ashamed to call out for help.

That said, could someone please tell me the proper way to measure

strawberries? I usually stem them, cut them in halves or quarters, drop

them in a measuring cup until I have 1-1/2 cups, and then munch away.

This sure feels like a lot of strawberries! Ah, I wish they would just

tell me how much they should weigh. Anyway, am I doing this wrong?

Thanks for your help and your understanding,

Sandy

I can't really answer your question - but I just want to address your

statement - I've done that a lot, and I'm sure others have too. I think the

key to success is facing the mistakes, admit them and let people help you

through it instead of getting ashamed and leaving.

That's one of my goals this time (:

Thanks, Candace. It is good to know I'm not the only one. Because I

live in the sticks and my crazy schedule I'm doing WW at Home, so this

is pretty much my meeting. I REALLY want to get rid of all of this

weight I'm carrying around ....

Maybe we should make a pact. Nobody moves (leaves) without FIRST saying

they feel like it ....

I heard something profound today ... The price of growth is struggle.

Hmmm. I'm just anal enough to now weigh out 140 grams, THEN core, cut

and measure them

Isn't that awful? LOL!

Thanks!

Yes, they are! Me and my 5 year old guy love them. Hubby, on the other

hand, could care less. Leaves that many more for us, I say!

I just scoop them up and eat them. Strawberries are VERY low in

calories. I add splenda and eat them with yogurt and fiber one, or for

dessert over Dreyer's Grand Light Strawberry Ice Cream, or a

Strawberry Shortcake Skinny Cow.

That would be great - if people would stick to it.

I won't leave this group without saying something about it first (:
