Menus and Miles Tuesday Nov. 4th

Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!   Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

Happy Tuesday LW's!!!   My scales are back down to 119 this morning but I can feel the extra inter-tube around my waste and my dress pants are a little tighter.  I should be back to "normal" (my DH might not agree...LOl) after a few more days of decarbing. I'm hoping to get a little free time today to catch up on some of the posts that I missed.
