Happy Saturday Ladies!

Ok, my DH & I had a talk last night and I think that I have the whole scale thing solved! You see, he's 6'1" and always putting things so high & can't reach them (I'm 5'4") - well, this morning (after weigh in) I had him put the scales in the top of our coat closet - all the way in the back so I can't see them let alone reach them! It couldn't have happened a better time actually b/c at w/i I've officially lost 40 lbs!! YaY - I'm so excited!! So, I guess my weigh day will be on Saturday now ... I have to beat being a slave to the scale - it's not ONLY the weight that WE lose, it's about changing our lives and becoming healthy too!

ER :: Aww - sorry I misunderstood what you were talking about - I'll be sure to congratulate you AGAIN when you DO lose 9 1/2 inches!! GL with w/i 2 morrow!!

Lisa : Altho Diet Rite has been around here for as long as I can remember, I would hope that it's not only available only in the south ... that would stink!

Ok, call me a geek - but I just went to the DIET RITE web site and found this info ::

Q: How do I find Diet Rite where I live?

A: Diet Rite is nationally distributed throughout stores in the U.S. via a network of local bottlers. To find out where you can buy Diet Rite in your local area, call (800) 696-5891 (U.S. residents only).

Give it a try ... let me know what ya find out!

Have a great weekend ladies ... Happy Losing!

Howdy All,

I can't believe how cold it has gotten. It's done nothing but rain here today. How depressing is that. I got to the grocery store today. Yeah . We were so out of groceries. I think I did pretty good. I bought some apples, bananas, a couple oranges, some yogurt and some salad mix. Also, I gotta have my tomatoes, green pepper, and cucumber to go on top. I wanted to make sure I had good things to snack on when the urge came across me. I didn't buy any chips or chocolate. Though I was tempted.

Tomorrow is weigh in day for me. I don't think that I have lost but I'll be happy for no gain. I have been reading about the Diet Rite soda. I didn't go through the soda aisles today so I'm not sure if it is here in Vermont yet or not. I know it isn't in the local convenience store. I looked. I settled for a dt A&W Root Beer instead. I am pretty anxious to give it a try when I find it. We do have the Diet Coke with splenda. I don't really care for the taste of Diet Coke so I won't be giving that a try but the Coke Zero isn't too bad.

I have to ask where is the information about aspartame being bad for you. I was talking to my DH about it and he said it is just an Urban Legend. He is a member to a website about urban legends and just plain weird stuff. He gave me a link to their article about aspartame and it is false. Here's the link. I hope you all check it out. I'm not a doctor but I don't know. I hope it's ok to link you to it.

So how are everyone's weekends going?
Well, keep well. Talk to you all soon.

Hugs, Annie
