Thank you, tobaccygirl, for the welcome, and the tips. I'm back from the Friday night dinner with my old friends. I had a glass of wine, no rolls and a broiled seafood plate with a cheese topping. The cheese topping was probably the most fattening part of it and I probably would have been satisfied with half, but I ate it all. Three of us shared the dessert so that was not too bad. If I get through this week without gaining I'll be happy. I have a real hard time with social eating.

A quick hi to everyone, Have to leave soon to go to the dentist and then home to cook for the holidays. So many rich fattening foods I'm making that I hope I can control my eating Thursday. It will be nice having the whole family over and using all the good china and stuff. Went to my neighbor yesterday to spend the day at their pool. She made a fabulous dinner of shrimp scampi,filet minion roast with mashed potatoes, I brought a salad with pears veggies walnuts and goat cheese with raspberry dressing. Dessert was cake with ice cream and fresh strawberries. Was I good? No but I wasn't THAT bad. Anyway today is a new day. Have a great one. Bernice

Thanks Bonnie, Yes I made the chopped liver,chicken soup with matzo balls, stuffed cabbage and the noodle and potato kugels. It's hardly low cal but what the hey it's only once a year and such a treat to eat the stuff my grandma used to make. Hard to believe I'm the Grandma now. When did this happen? Grandson is here and not feeling good. Crying for his mommy most of the day. Hubby took him to the park so I could continue to prepare. /Tomorrow I'll clean the house,set the table and get organized. The turkey is defrosting and that takes 2 days. I should have it all together by Thursday and then hubby does the clean up. Yeah! Thanksgiving will be done by someone else cause by Thursday I will have had it for another year. Hope you are feeling better,I sometimes need Advil after a work out from my water aerobic instructor.

Hi Ladies,
Well I do have good news to report. Lost 1.4 lbs last night. Just so I lose every week, that's my new goal..I don't care if it's only .2 lbs.
You ladies seem to lead such interesting lives. Mine seem almost boring!
I must be going senile, but I can't seem to connect messages with people. I try to read them and then write, but by the time I get here, I forgot. Time for the home I'm thinking.
The weather in Wisconsin is beautiful too, almost too beautiful to be stuck at work. We had a picnic for the students and staff, so right now I'm full.
What are all your plans for the weekend? We are going to a wedding in Minnesota on Saturday coming home on Sunday. Wish we could be on the bike, but obligations, you know.
I miss some of our others too, I wonder where they are???

Take care and remember we're all
suzq

Hello everybody! I cannot believe (but I must!) that the last time I checked in was 11 days ago. I have been working various shifts, plus by next friday (my next day off) I will have worked 15 days straight. (ugh) I had better check in next Monday with the weight. (I haven't been drinking enough) Haven't been writing down what I eat and haven't been walking enough. Was also sick a few days. (poor me)! But life is good and will get back in the swing of things shortly! Hope everybody is good behaving themselves better than I am! Linda aka moogee

Hello,

As I have 78 lbs to lose to my "healthy weight" (according to my BMI) I am looking to do a diet program that is doctor supervised. I live in Niagara Falls New York I know that Dr. Bernstein's diet clinic is an option, as are the various Atkins type diets. Surgery is out of the question.

Here is my question: Doctors dont seem to agree too much on what a diet should be like. The only site I have visited that compares doctor's diets is http://www.bariatricsweightloss.com/ but I am still not certain of what is the best thing to do. Can any of you guide me as to a popular, but effective long term diet solution that is medically supervised? Thanks!

[suzq55]

Don't worry about it. As long as you buckle down now, it's not lost. Remember you can't move forward if you're always looking back.
Well, weigh in tonight at WW. I have to keep reminding myself that my goal is just to lose every week no matter how small it is. So, with that said, I hope I lose. We went to a wedding in MN this weekend, not that the wedding food was that bad, but stopped at McDonald's for lunch in the car on the way home. Oh well, what did I say about looking back????
Have a great day ladies. Beautiful weather here in WI. Went on the Harley for the afternoon yesterday. Great ride!
