I'm at the end on my 11th week so I can pretty much eat anything (within reason). I plan on handling it the same way I handle dinner parties. I take a sampling of the stuff I love and just taste (being careful not to exceed 1/2 cup of food. I generally stay away from the spicy, fatty, high sugar foods. I'll just have to be sure there is a sugar free desert there for me. Happy Holidays to you too!

When I was thinking I'd get scheduled before Thanksgiving, the plan was to tell lil' sis 'it's your turn!' and hand her the turkey I bought!!

Now that I know I won't have surgery til after Thanksgiving, I'll do the honors, and make her do it next year!!!

We're going to my Brother and Sister-in-laws for Thanksgiving. They do such a wonderful dinner for the holiday. But, with the issues I'm having with food right now I'm not sure I'm going to be able to eat much of anything. I'm thinking of making up my own special plate and taking it with me.

Well, I now cook from my family and watch them eat, and I suppose that's what I will do for the holidays. Not much fun, but I am down 65 pounds in a size 16 (and it's big), so I guess it's worth it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
