There's one about 30 miles from here, maybe even less, and I've just never gone. I think I'm scared: all that food, and it's all supposedly <em>good</em> for me? That's just soooo tempting.

That’s just soooo tempting.

Here's the deal though, they are considered Organic - so if you have any Organic Food stores or sections of the grocery store try there first. I found mine in Whole Food's. I went online to their website that says there aren't any stores that are in a 90 mile radius of my place which is obviously not true. Just wanted to give you a heads up. =D I’m glad to share my food finds!

I'm definitely going to check into those tortilla chips -- being able to have my chip and eat it to sounds like heaven to me. Thanks!

I am on Day 20 with Alli. I enjoy reading your daily updates. As for Tortilla Chips... I LOVE them and have found Guiltless Gourmet tortilla chips to satisfy my needs while being rather low in Calories. They are 110 calories for 18 chips. They are baked instead of fried so they only have 1g of fat per serving. I purchase the ones without salt since I have big issues with my sodium levels being high (made aparant by using the Alli website). They are very good and at least you can be saving some calories here or there - even if you do drizzle cheese all over them occasionally. I buy mine at Whole Foods - it's the only place I have found them but with some reasearch you might be able to find somewhere near you. Here's to more continued success!
