Oh, Don, I hope the champagne was GREAT!!! And, all joking aside, I think the promise of a new wardrobe is a really strong motivator. Some guys don't care about shopping as much as women do, but other guys really enjoy it. If you are one of those, it will be so exciting to have a whole new "look" and then being able to CONTINUE fitting into the new clothes becomes a real motivator. With the discipline you have, I'm sure you'll really do well in the upcoming 17 days!!! We'll be here to cheer you on, too!!

Everyone--I was over causing no END of food trouble on the Cruise Roll Call board (the No Name Yet thread), b/c well, you know me, I got everyone talking about.....guess what.....double doubles!!!! Kathy complained about venturing off the weight loss support group and finding herself plunk in the middle of a bunch of Double Double pictures. We've hatched a plot to stump the chef on our cruise by challenging him to imitate a Double Double. My bet is he won't be able to do it!!!

I was pretty good yesterday. Forgoing lunch to eat about 4 handsful of peanuts, which, for some reason, lately, I've been craving almost every day.
