    I am there, I have planned my menu, it is all lite, low fat, low carb nad natural whole foods. I e-mailed everyone nad only had feed back from my sister about it, she will make her usual dressing and all, but that's OK, I know I can do this..... And my motto, it's about family, not food and if you don't like it, there are several restaurants down the road.

    Me! I'm totally in! I want to not go under my cals for the whole month! I think I have been making my body suffer for my mental problems with food... thus making me suffer more mentally because I can't seem to lose the weight I want! It's a vicious cycle...

    Good luck!!!

    Okay I am totally game with you sweetie, I have been thinking about Turkey Day and how I am going to do with my eating. I have been finding out that I am really anal right now with what I am putting into my body. I haven't had a coke or soda for almost a month and I don't miss it but I love Turkey Day. I am taking my mom out this weekend to buy the Turkey and everything for dinner and I am thinking about changing things up with dinner. Then we have another Turkey day the Friday after. So I think I am going to be harder than ever. I am getting my brand new laptop today and I am going to be able to track what I eat during that weekend which I am happy. I have in my mind set that I will get up early those days so that I can work out so I can enjoy the food without :explode:

    I am so game with it. Have a great FRIDAY :bigsmile:

    Day 2 is so far so good!:bigsmile: I have 550 calories left for dinner and I'm planning on having a huge salad so that even leaves room for dessert!:bigsmile:

    Well, I came CLOSE but survived! I'm going to bed before I veer into the kitchen and scarf down the piece of Lemon Pie my DH brought me home from Kroger's! I told him I couldn't afford it today...maybe I'll save up calories so I can have it tomorrow! :laugh: What do you do when your better half (:huh: ) brings you goodies? :love:
