I've had a fantastic week on Weight Watchers, so thought I'd add a few
carbs
to dinner that I don't usually have.

We had blackened chicken breast, accompanied by a risotto with asparagus
tips, mushrooms, and toasted pine nuts. I bought some sugar-free,
fat-free
chocolate meringue kisses for dessert. Having the risotto felt luxurious.

Easy does it now - 3.76# per week -- so I'm glad you treated yourself to
some risotto and are eating healthy.

I'm eating healthier than I have in a long time. Lots of fresh vegetables
and fruits, mostly chicken, a little pork (lean chops), and even less beef,
everthing either grilled or broiled. Some cold boiled shrimp, but no fish.
I detest fish that isn't fried. <g> I've virtually eliminated starch/carb
laden vegetables, but I'm stressing calciferous vegetables. Bread only as
toast with a egg for breakfast. Diet or no diet, I have always hated
packing lunch for work, and I still won't actually make/cook+ anything for
it. I've been Eating WW Smart Ones and Michelina's Lean Gourmet frozen
meals, which average only 5 WW points. Our break room at work is large and
has a commercial fridge and freezer, and several microwaves.

The occasional dish like the risotto is a great treat, and feels very
special.

I really love WW as a diet and way of eating. My only problem with it
is ...to lose the last 5-10 pounds I would like to use I would have to
eat 18points a day (if I remember right) It feels like I am starving -
and that is not something I have experienced on WW before....

But myself I'm finding the last 25 lbs of the imposed 95 lbs loss order a
very hard and slow thing to do.

Are you familiar with the Core Plan? You are allowed 35 points per week of
non-core foods, and relatively unlimited quantities of all core foods,
which is a rather long list. It might make you feel less starved.

Back in 1979-80 I lost 93 lbs on a diet program very similar to WW. I
found the last 20 or so lbs very slow, but it finally came off.
Unfortunately, over the past 20 odd years I gradually let things get out of
hand and regained most of that. It's definitely more of a challenge now
that I'm 60 years old. I guess the most important thing is to persevere,
regardless of the rate of progress. You're really doing well, so don't be
discouraged. I have found that alternating a week of more severe dieting
with a week of more lenient but controlled dieting to be very effective.

Wayne Boatwright o¿o

Thanks for asking:
I called Homer Laughlin customer service and told them I had bought 2 bowls
from Amazon.com and amazon had sent me two (1 turquoise and 1 rose) bowls
with white 'bas relief' points inside the bowl. She said she would replace
'them.' I asked her if she wanted me to send an email with the picture (I
only had the rose pic available), which I did. She said they might not have
rose, but would ask the stock and send it to me and asked me if not, would I
prefer another color. Since she didn't mention the turquoise and I only
sent the picture of the rose, I mentioned in another email that the
turquoise bowl was the same, but I never got an answer back; but I'm hoping
they will replace both bowls. If not, I will send a picture of the
turquoise bowl. I don't want to upset the apple cart by being too
demanding. The woman was very decisive, courteous and nice. Maybe she
recognized my WV accent -- tee hee.

OB: (Is this the right abbreviation?)
Am making sour cream waffles (new recipe) the dry and wet ingredients are
waiting to be blended - waiting for DH to pull himself together for
breakfast.

I lost 20# in one year on my own -- but can't get that last 10# off -- it's
been over a year now since then. I lost the weight when DH was away a lot
and I had only myself to look after. When I diet, I'm OK until about 8pm
and then I get the starvation syndrome. Then I drink hot tea (not decaf)
until it's coming out my ears.

I dealt directly with the factory several years ago when I was trying to
fill in some pieces. They were very helpful.

Me Too! Loves them waffles. Had them twice this week, normally
maybe I get a waffle every few years. I drowned them in butter and
syrup, it's really sick, but I do. Swimming.

First waffle was at an IHOP. It was okay, rather an odd color but
tasty enough. They had 4 syrups, original flavored pancake syrup
(something along those lines), pecan maple flavor, strawberry and
blueberry.

The second was at Perkin's, I like that place better all around. Waffle
was good and real maple syrup, or so they said. Plenty of butter.

Filled my waffle quota for a while, can't eat like you're on vacation
all the time.

We laughed about what our waffles would cost if we ate them out - with very
good ingredients, plus a recommended (on rfc) $15 for a regular-sized
bottle of organic syrup - with the below ingredients. Heres for 4
waffles -- I ate 1, DH ate 3.

2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk

1-1/2 cups ap flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda

The usual instructions. We baked at 5 on our Waffle Iron (Belgian).
Just curious, what do IMOP waffles cost per waffle now-a-days?

Yeah I cheat too...but only when I reach set weight goals I'm at 197 now
next cheat won't happen till I reach 190. Hopefully before the end of
March I can have a large serving of chicken fried rice or a chinese take
out feast.
