and they keep their left hands in their laps (unless cutting, of course), so I wonder frequently if there isn't a lot to this "eating behavior" stuff.)

I really would lose weight if I did that, since I'm left-handed.

I am way nervous this morning. I havent' weighed myself in two weeks, since I took time off from work during christmas. No scale at home. We have a doctor's scale at work that I like to use. I have no idea what the scale is going to say. Hopefully good news. I dropped another pants size.

So how'd you do? Hoping for good news for you.

I actually lost another 8 pounds, without being too strict on the diet. I am now down 40 pounds since November 11th when I started.

Way to go! :o)

Thanks for the information. My husband is monitoring his blood sugar but is finding it very hard to stay on a diet. The Atkins sounds as if it would be more to his liking but his cholesterol is high also.

>>Glad to hear it--is that 9 carbs total--or what we call "impacting carbs" which is the carb number minus the fiber number?

9 grrams total carbs - they're not playing that silly "net-carbs" game seen on a lot of labels.

I pretty much eat anything I want and my waist is a 36 it was 34 in High School, I am 6' 3" and about 215, I weigh myself about once a year. I eat meat, fish, chicken and pork. Any and all fresh veggies and friut and all the bread I want. Cake, pie and other pastries as long as I make them so I know what is in them, I drink about 7-10 beers a day, love butter, milk and most all dairy products except ice cream.
I do not eat or drink any thing that says light, lite, fat free, reduced fat or partially hydrogenated veggie oil.
Every time I see people buying light, lite beer they always have a gut and I want to say "HEY IT AINT WORKIN".
My exercise consists of playing golf in a cart, I had a back operation about a year and a half ago and can't walk that far and carry a bag and pulling a cart is worse as it pulls on my back. Eat smart and quit eating the damn processed foods.
