Helen, have a fun cruise! We will be here when you get back.

Kathy, congrats on getting the scale to budge. It is frustrating not seeing it go down. On the cauliflower puree, the Atkins recipe is similar. You add cream though instead of milk (lower carbs, but higher fat) and leeks instead of onions. It also calls for nutmeg as an option. Garlic would probably be a good addition as well. Good think I like Cauliflower!

Sue, you might also see if you can find some reconditioned gym treadmills, eliptical, or bikes. Because of my size, I find the other ones just aren't sturdy enough. Look for Precor or LifeFitness, or LifeCycle or something similar. Maybe somebody has some other suggestions on what they use.

Margo, welcome home! 5 lbs isn't that bad! If it is water, it is probably SALT water! LOL Good job on using the gym onboard. BTW, did you log it on your FitLinxx? As far as the World Cruise, I wonder how Marcie does it? Can you imagine? They would probably have to haul me off as cargo! LOL

Last week I lost two more pounds, so a pretty good week. I have now lost 73 lbs since August and 45 lbs since January 1st.

Also yesterday my boss commented on how much weight that I had lost. You know it actually felt good when he called me a "Big Fat Loser" LOL :D
