Aww how horrible I also do not know Cookie but my prayers are with her and her family. Anything I can do please dont hesitate. I was going to say I had a successful day getting birthday supplies and then complain about some family members but somehow it lost it importance.

OMG Wiz - thanks for posting! I haven't been on anything all day and just found out about Cookie!

Rose , I don't know what size Cookie wears, but I am thinking that may be something we could do for her. I've been giving away tons of clothes to my church's thrift store as I lost weight. I'd certainly rather send stuff to Cookie. Also I think her daughter and grandbaby were living with her (or spend a lot of time there.) I'll send an update when I know more...

OMG I am so sorry.... Please let us know what she needs. I know she is way smaller than me so clothes won't fir, but I may be able to help elsewhere? Terrible thing is I just cleared storage last week and got rid of a TON of household items, blankets and baby stuff

Well - it is official I am going to Vegas the the beginning of February - I need to get losing and get in my jeans again!!!! Happy Thursday to you all. I don't know Cookie - but my prayers to her and her family.

Linda, yes, we all have hungry days. I make sure I drink enough water. If that doesn't help, I make a cup of diet hot chocolate or coffee. That usually fills me up. Wiz, sorry about the knee - hope it heals quickly. I know it's very frustrating when the scale just sits - BELIEVE ME, I know! It's done that a lot in the past 2 years for me. I lost 2 pounds at the beach at the end of Sept., and the scale has been up and down since...

Tried a new recipe yesterday that turned out spectacularly yummy (my mate was impressed - I so love that he's so willing to try my experiments!), and I thought I'd share. I ended up making my own bread crumbs with whole wheat bread that I toasted (and I *know* it wasn't a whole half cup), which made it a bit more SB friendly - but it's pretty SB friendly anyway. I made the version with the cream-cheese-pesto filling, but...

Hi friends! Eh, I didn't diet thru Thanksgiving. However, I did exercise and the treats are gone now. Today I didn't eat much, probably like most people. I wore the new sz 9s and they slid off still. I'll let y'all know when I try on the 7s. Euph , next time I'll just steam peas and pearl onions, the "cream sauce" wasn't worth the time. DH and I really enjoyed the pearl onions. Rose , I'm...

Thanks! I've already lost 3 lbs since Monday
