First of all I want to thank you all for the great support you have been giving me on my weightloss challenge with Adam. Although he won the first round I am determined to win the war..... As others have said even if I lose the challenge I still win. Losing weight has been a goal of mine for years and I am finally in a place where I might actually succeed. Our little wagers just makes it more fun and what better goal for a dieter than a meal at the end of it all.
During all this I have found a new food love, Arnold's Sandwich Thins 100% whole wheat. They are full of hearty flavor and very satisfying for only 100 calories. They make the perfect size sandwich. My favorite is to use minimal mayo [or none at all] and add thin slices of tomato and cucumbers. Tuna, chicken salad or a slice of cheese now and then adds a nice variety. Humos is also a delicious spread for sandwiches. When toasted they become nice and crispy and because they are thin could easily become over toasted, which is fine with me, I like burnt toast. I haven't tried the other flavors but I am sure they would be delicious too. [click the link for full details]
There are other brands of this type of bread and I have tried one other, whos name escapes me, but I found Arnold the most robust and flavorful.
What are some of your favorites?

ohhhhh seriously my mouth is watering...i would kill to eat a sandwich with REAL bread!! good luck on you challenge!
These sound and LOOK so delicious! I will be hunting them down for sure on my next shopping trip. Where did you find them in your area? P.S. I believe in you and you CAN win this war with Adam and yourself. :o)
I really like them too. They are full of flavor and great for portion control.
I love those! Even my kids like them. Maybe it is the novelty of it.
P.S. You can win!

I like to use these as an alternative to hamburger rolls too. And they just put out ones that are rectangles, the photo shows them as a hot dog roll, but of course they would be good for sandwiches too. Keep up the good work! I'm proud of you and your efforts!
I agree (even posted about them on Monday). These are yummy...I used them making BLTS.
I hope you reach your goals!!
nice hit. did not know about these...but there is nothin like a tomato sandwich in the summer...
I'm with Dawna - I get so excited when I find a "diet food" that my son will eat too. And he loves these.
I have been looking at these and meaning to try them...I better get on it now that you say so!
I've never had those before...I want some! Mmmm...hummus and cukes sound delish right now.
I LOVE these! I am on Weight Watchers and they work perfectly. I think that they are only 1 point. I have tried all of the flavors and I haven't found one that I don't like. I saw that there is another company trying to make sandwich thins too, but I am partial to Arnold's. It is also really yummy if you use one of the sandwich thins and then spread it with Laughing Cow Cheese (the whole wedge) and then some turkey. So freaking yummy!
Good luck with your weight loss!
It's funny you said that because I tried those recently and really liked them too! I haven't compared them to other brands though. I'm glad to know they're the best. :)
No, those are MY favorites too! LOVE them!
And they are more flavorful and filling then big ole white buns.
Speaking of big ole white buns...I have a couple I need to get rid of.
Those things are awesome! I eat them all the time.
I love the sandwich thins too! They are perfect for a sandwich. I also love the bagels called Alternative bagels in the freezer or dairy case. they are lower fat and loaded with fiber than regular bagels
Sounds and looks delicious!
Nothing better than these, that's for sure.

I know this may sound odd, but try sliced dill pickle, Swiss cheese and a touch of mayo on dark rye. May not fit your diet plans, but it is tasty. I do like the thins.
Good luck with the weight loss. I'm trying to lose weight at the moment too, it's so bloody hard isn't it?!
This bread looks ideal, thanks. :)
I have seen those at the store and have wanted to try them, I just didn't want to get them if they were gross. I'll have to try them now!
I'll take mine with tuna please!!!
Sounds yummy.
Sounds yummy.
Oh I eat these too....my kids get the good ole white stuff:)
These are fantastic!
Never saw them in the supermarket....sounds good...I'm a carb addict - and bread is my weakness - in fact sometimes my dessert is bread and cheese.
They do look delicious although I'm not sure I'll find them here ;0(
I LOVE Arnold's!!!!!!!!! Before the flood, I took my lunch to work every day and it was always a sandwich made with Arnold's, Quaker Rice Snacks chips, and a Weight Watchers snack cake.
sounds like you are on your way to weightloss - keep at it -- that bread makes great sense esp if it is "robust" :D
I love this stuff! I usually buy packages of them just to eat straight with hummus--any kind of chip substance wrecks the whole reason for eating hummus in the first place.
I think the key to it is just cooking for yourself--I can't tell you how much money you save doing it, and you'll always create a healthier meal than you'll be able to buy anywhere.
My SIL buys these. I'd like to, too, except Mr. Fairway would probably say, "So, where's the bread?"
I want these!! I will definitely be looking for them next time I go to the store!
I'm working on a new me, as well. I'm down a bit over 20lbs (with tons more to go). I've found I really love the Weight Watcher meals for lunch---the thai chicken with rice noodles. I am really happy eating that same meal 3x a week. It's really filling and something like 300 calories!
Oh---and we just discovered that Fiber One has breakfast muffins that appear to be healthy! They are delicious!
