Betty,

I've been counting calories, but doing some Slim Fast shakes for breakfast or lunch. I've not been a lunatic about following a plan - two or three days of maybe 250 calories for breakfast, 300 for lunch and 500 -700 for dinner. Also eating "half" of whatever I get in a restaurant or a business dinner. Not eating, however, things like Mashed Potatoes either (well, I will take two or three small bites) I'm stuck at 10lbs down but I know that it will change.
