    Congrats to Laurel Katie and Melissa for the losses. Major kudos to Myra and Lala for maintaining.

    Melissa -- The Cheesy soup sounds wonderful.

    OK Major Challenge coming up that I was not even thinking about... My 4th year anniversary on Nov. 15th. We're having a gathering at a favorite restaurant and we're ordering appetizers, etc. It's Italian, and while I've got antipasta and prociutto with melon in there on the list, the rest is just tasty fattening stuff.

    Two challenges I see... one to not stress out too much over the next week and a half - and munch my way out of my already tight outfits. It may be that I need to wear something a bit looser and not any of the "hot" little dresses I got when I was at my ideal weight

    Second challenge is eat under the limit for the rest of this week... and to bank points next week - saving them for that Friday night.

    And then before ya know it - it's Thanksgiving and I'm cooking at my Mother-in-law's (Cape Cod). Help!

    Patch
  • Susan: I think they're 15 oz. cans of diced tomatoes. They're the soup can size.

    Patch: You have a good plan and you know you can make it work. Just take it day by day. If you're going to order an entree could you just eat half and feel satisfied? Maybe be keep one of your "hot" little dresses out where you can see it for inspiration/motivation. You can do it!

    It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is a mere 3 weeks from today.
  • Thanks Melissa.

    Thought it might help to see where I was last week versus this week. I'm definitely more conscious.
