THANKS DOUG! THAT REALLY HELPS!!! STILL GOING! HUSBAND HAS LOST QUITE A BIT OF WEIGHT! SO HAPPY FOR HIM!! ;DHE WENT FROM 325 TO 305!!! AMAZING!
Doug Varrieur:
Well, hello there, I was wondering where you disappeared to :) Good to see you back. Good news on hubby's weight loss...I want you to keep tweeking and stay the course,did you get rid of those pre-made meals for work and replace them with something else yet?
snobles:
Boy Doug, you can read me like a book!! haha...I have! What we decided to do was, make enough at dinner, and take some leftovers for work! I think that's how I lost the little bit of weight! It was hard to do, because, it is "quick and easy", but then again, so are your dinners! and they taste better than the premade dinners! I was discouraged for a little bit, is why I haven't been on much, but when I got on that scale today, I'm not an everyday scaler! but I saw the 2lbs. lost! I was grinning from ear to ear! So, I'm on the right path now! Thanks for your concern and your encouraging words! I love reading all the posts! They are very helpful! and thank you for all the research you do! Wow...That's a lot of research!!!
Hope you guys are doing good!!!
Stephanie
