Liz, the only problem with wine isn't so much the carbs, it's the alcohol, which stalls any weight loss. While you have alcohol in your system, your body is busy burning that off before it burns off the fat.

Cyndi, the joy of the food is definately dampened by the miserable feeling the next day. It took well into the afternoon before I came alive again.

Only 7 weeks from today before we leave on our cruise and now I have a new plan. DISPOSABLE CLOTHES!!! Here I was trying so hard to get into my tux and what I think I am now going to do is take the clothes that I am growing out of and just leave them. I figure that at the rate I am going, I will be down about another 15-20 lbs and approx. 2" by the time we leave for the airport. I figure that I will gain some while we are gone, but with no big clothes, I am forced to go back on the diet just as soon as I return.

My wife added that it was an excellent idea. Now she will have more room for the things she wants to buy! On second thought.... :ohmy:
