Well, my dh and I went to Florida for a week for our 25th anniversery.  I ate everything I wanted including these fantstic caramel candies covered in chocolate. (My mouth is watering as I write this.)  I had pizza, a couple of hamburgers, fries, yummy sweet potatoes, apple pie.  You get the idea.   I ate way too much and many bad things.  I managed to lose 1 pound.  I was shocked.  I'm still in my "Safe zone."  I think not weighing myself had something to do with it.  Duh me. You would think I would learn not to weigh myself every day. 
Back to eating mostly protein.  Boring.

Hi Anita:  I don't think we've met, but welcome back! 

I'm assuming you live north of the Cities, but you are welcome to make the trek to our Saturday morning support group.  I'd love to meet you.

Some of us post weigh-in on Monday morning to help stay accountable.  It helps me to have a place to report how I did and discuss challenges or victories each week.  Feel free to join that thread-- no pressure to post your actual weight if you don't want to, altho of course this group does not judge.  We commiserate, cheer, support and encourage!

Don't know if you can walk for exercise after your neck surgery, but we have a group that is walking or running in the Challenge Obesity 5K around Como Lake April 21st.  You'd be welcome to join in that as well--we have a team going called the "Formerly Fat Friends."  It should be a lovely spring morning outing with friends!!

So sorry.  I wasn't there yesterday, but we usually sit right in front of the Panera, at the long area with booth seats at the back and chairs in front.

We will be at the Caribou in Byerly's in Eagan next Saturday.  We usually push a bunch of tables together in the middle.  Look for people that have water cups on the table. 

My sleeve is the 14th - GOOD LUCK@

Congratulations....I am so happy for you!!!!

Hang on it is a wild ride    yeeehhaaawwwww!!!!
