Will definitely look for that chocolite next time I'm there. We get some groceries there, but not much. I'll have to post about the salad I make with ingredients from there. It's delicious. Hmmm, romaine lettuce, their already cooked taragon and herb spiced chicken, then they have these crunchy, low fat flat bread type things that you use as croutons, lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese, and their Romano Caesar dressing. It's so good...my mouth is watering.

Dotsie,

You need chocolate NOW!!

Oh hallooooo..........it's been ten days and I've lost another 6 or 7 pounds in that time. I've lost a "ledge" off my hips and OH MY GOD!!!!I HAVE SEEN MY COLLAR BONES ! THEY'RE STILL THERE!!!

Kate, what an announcement on Thanksgiving day! You'll be a whole new you for Christmas.

My husband stuck very strictly to the South Beach Diet and only lost 4 pounds after the first two weeks. He thought he should have lost more. He only needs to lose ten.

WeLL... I wasn't QUITE as good as I had hoped. I had eight people at the dinner table, with full bowls of stuffing, mashed potatoes (real ones), salad, rolls, cranberry sauce, jellied and whole berry, sweet potatoes, turkey....mmmmmm, and banana pudding. I made cherry, peach and pumpkin pie....

I ate two cherries ...right after two tablespoons of stuffing and cranberry sauce, a very small piece of a roll...mmmm, and that was it. But BOYYYY I wanted to eat more! Shouldn't I LOSE calories for wanting more and not eating it?

I think SO!!!! Oh, but I forgot my point, my point was that all of those people, and three of them were my growing sons, plus one very large boyfriend (my daughter's, not mine) and my husband who has hollow legs....and it seemed like everythong ate gobs and didn't hardly make a dent in the food. Amazing! So who's been eating it all all these years? Did I used to make less or (a very scary thought) was I grazing my way through the preparation, the the cooking and the clean-up? That is SUCH a VERY scary thought!

And I did eat turkey and my cauliflower mashed potatoes. THAT saved me! Otherwise I might have really blown it. The scale will tell on Monday.

DK, hmmmm, scarey thought. I *munched* my way through cooking yesterday, and I know I had a couple helpings of dressing before dinner even started.

Congrats on sticking to your diet for the day.
