    Ok, I have been reviewing a few things in my Journey. I realized it was about this point when I fell off the wagon the last time I was on MFP. Please PM me if you notice no postings from me. I can't stop this time around I really need help to stay on track, this is a very important point in my Journey.

    I am one of the lucky few at my age that are not on any prescription drugs, have no serious physical limitations except for my eye site, I am legally blind in one eye and have been since childhood. So medical reasons do not motivate me. I want to stay fit and healthy, my weight control is my only health issue. So please feel free to PM me if you don't see me around or you think I am losing focus even. I am within 2 lbs of half way to my goal now, I simply can not let myself stop again.

    Thanks for listening.

    @Charlie That is such wonderful news! I wonder if your docs realize how hard you have worked to get to this point. I hope you BP goes up a bit and your dizzy spells stop.

    More Congrats! to you Charlie!!! You have taken control of your life! in such a positive way. I bet you feel on top of the world. I signed up today for a program through work called "Naturally Slim". Has anyone heard of it or been involved in it? They is a limit to how many they will take into the program, so I don't know if I will be accepted or not. The only thing out of wack with me is my weight.

    We went to the theatre last night and went for a meal before in a Café Rouge restaurant. We had a bit of time to kill so I splurged! Shared a started with hubby then had a main and a dessert!!! And a glass of wine!!!!! It was delicious! :D
    So today I am compensating and just made a big pan of homemade vegetable soup...and that is delicious too!

    It's all about balance! :D

    Found this in the MFP blog, go to the 4th paragraph, click on the word here and download the pdf. It is an e-cookbook from Cooking Light with recipes, nothing over 400 calories and that is a dinner meal, there are snacks, etc at lower cals. as well. There is also the meal planner chart in that ebook as well that prints off correctly, I couldn't get the one in the blog to print out in a useable size.

    So true, Jean - an occasional relaxation of our usual practice keeps us from straying way off the path! ~ Kathy
