Hey, Kathy, the Slim Fast plan sounds good---gives you a little leeway now, and then you can put up with that for a short while. And I agree with Wendy---be nice to yourself!!!!!!

Wendy---I was just myself thinking about starting up the tin can routine....great for toning arms. I've also though about giving up wine during the week, b/c it is a lot of calories (especially if you drink a lot of it, LOL). :(
