  • Wine is my weakness. The calories add up way too fast! I didn’t have anything today since I had a class this evening. It felt good but one day is just that. Thanks for heading up this group!
  • Starting weight 135lbs (the pounds hang on me in an awkward way, too) February goal 7 lbs Ultimate goal 118 (my "fighting weight" after my last marathon) I weigh in on FRIDAYS :)

I wait 48 hours before even bothering to…
  • LOL re Hardees. I haven't eaten there in a decade, solely because my weakness is their curly fries (if those even still exist). Oh baby!
  • Chipotle. We just happened upon the stats. Yea, everybody knows sour cream and the tortilla is terrible. You're looking at 700-1500 calories.
