Week 6 results and lessons learned...

Down 3.2lbs (17.2lbs total)

This was a week of eating out. I had dinner at Stage on Thursday after last week's weigh-in, then dinner at the Beagle on Friday. Saturday saw me eating lunch at the Cactus Club, followed by a movie with popcorn and dinner at the Tapas Bar. On Sunday I packed and left for two days at Dunsmuir Lodge with buffets for breakfast and lunch as well as dinner in the lounge bar. On Tuesday I took Bernard for dinner at Temple for his birthday. On Wednesday I had eye surgery and didn't feel like eating much.

I fully expected to gain weight, hoped I'd maintain, and secretly wished for a pound loss. I was flabbergasted at the 3.2.

I knew I had approached every meal with points in mind and I had loaded up on vegetables wherever possible, but still, you can't control the amount of fat people use to cook and it is hard to guess-timate grams or cups.

I was extremely proud of myself, and you know what pride goeth before...

Lesley, I had completely forgotten about your blog, Barb was looking at it today and reminded me.
I am really enjoying your writing - you should send something into Weight Watchers magazine. I look forward to seeing your success story published in the near future.
I will try to be better at staying in touch. Susan
