Congrats Sandra! I did WW about 3 years ago and lost 50 lbs. I should have stuck with it but I went off it and gained it all back. I hope you have better luck than I did. :lol:
For those of you who are going sugar-free, like me, I found this awesome page which tells you how to substitute honey for sugar.

DD hates chicken with bones, as in southern fried chicken. since she wasn't here i made southern fried chicken with mashed potatoes. i was realy good then entire day so i don't think i blew it plus it was fried in olive oil. i know i could have made oven fried chick, i made it last week but it is not the same as the real deal.

Thanks for all your support. I think I have hit that plateau everyone talks about. I have lost 30 Lbs. since May and I think I went down to low on my calories. I have brought my calories back up to 1249 and am keeping up the exercise. I think my body thought it was starving and slowed down to concerve. I hope I'll start loosing again. It's incouraging to read all of your posts. Keep up the good work.
