Sharon and Bonnie! So glad to have you back!! You can do it. I was a little bummed after coming back from my surgery and having gained 8 lbs, but I jumped back in and I've gotten it off. This weigh in on Weds. should show my "first" real loss since finally getting the 8 lbs back off.
Note on eating out- We went over to Hilton Head on Saturday for a nice day trip. Went out to eat at a very nice Sea Food Restaurant sitting on the water. It was beautiful outside. Scanned my choices and choose the grilled fish and grilled shrimp with veggies and rice pilaf- which I didn't eat. Anyway, word of wisdom, ASK if any special sauces are put on it. When it came out, they was some sort of butter sauce over the shrimp and fish!! I was not a happy camper- but I made the most of it by getting as much off as possible. I learned that I will ASK next time how the food is prepared, and not to assume that because it is grilled, that they don't add something to it!!
Just some food for thought for those that are like me and eat out a lot!!
