Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday week-end. As for me, I stepped on the scale this morning and was soooo happy to see I was down 2 pounds on my own (NO MERIDIA!!!) I can not tell you what a relief that was, because I've been so scared I wouldn't be able to lose any of the weight on my own without the pills! I'm sooo proud to say that with my own willpower, and your help and advice, I can and will do this!! =) Anyway....as for the diet, I did ok this week-end. I actually don't think I got enough calories in, but I feel fine, so I don't think I did too much damage. My mother-in-law did however take me to see Bridget Jones Diary on Friday (LOVED IT!!!!), and I had a small popcorn no butter. I know that's bad, cause of all the oils they use, but at least I passed on the butter! Oh yeah, and I also had an ICEE...how bad are those anyway??? Are they worse than soda?? Was just wondering, cause it felt so light and airy, and really hit the spot!! It CAN'T posssiblly be BAD for me????? !!!! LOL Anyway...I am going on vacation to the coast on June 9-16, so I REALLY wanted to be in the 230's by then...looks like I may make it!!! Wish me luck!! =) Glad to see lots of you had a good week-end diet wise also...I'm off to read some more entries and hopefully find some more inspiration!!! =) Thanx for listening! -Kat
