I don't get to check my e-mail everyday so I am a little late in responding

but I don't want to forget anyone.

Thanks, Deb. Scales can be so decieving or so I have been told. The muscle

weighs more than fat thing. I just want to look good.

I have been EXTREMELY lucky, so far. No cravings for anything not allowed.

I've had candy and potatoes waved in front of me and have no desire to even

try a bite.

The recipe for the Mashed Cauliflower looked very good and I ran out and

bought some caul and hope to make it Monday with a roast chicken.

I too have noticed the clothing difference and boy doesnt' it do great

things for your morale. I would love to get rid of the tree trunks and have

shapely legs. My father did diet over 20 years ago and lost 80lbs. Keep it

off until past 5 years. Age and his love of food kicked in but his legs

still look great. Shopping in the Non-womans sizes is coming soon.

Thanks Cyndy. I have to shop in the J.C.Penney catalog to get BOTH talls

and womens sizes combined. I like most of their clothes but I would like to

get normal clothes (still for tall though) but the variety for Women are

much less. I am 36 and a working women-I don't want to be wearing big

flowers and such. I have fashion sense-I guess I need the body to match.

Did you ever notice that size 20 pants have a HUGE gut on them? If they fit

on my waist and are long enough, the front of the pants hang 6 inches down

my crotch. I am big, not ridiculous! My 1st goal is to get to a size 18

and to be able to wear STANDARD size clothes.

Diet Coke is my favorite too-has been for years. I am drinking less though

and really bulking up the water consumption.
