That's so awesome. Its always so wonderful to see some progress - I hope you keep on moving down the scale *g* Thanks, Anna :-)

I haven't used the forums or blogs or other group support systems that they have, but if online support works as well for you as the in-person meetings, then it could be a great program. One of the things I love is that by logging onto the site each day, I see the featured articles and blogs, and then automatically click to read them. It keeps me informed, gives me stuff to think about or incorporate, that I probably wouldn't have sought out on my own. I hope you’ll give it a try –and that it works for you, Michelle :-)

I keep meaning to try Spark People, but am being my usual self and procrastinating ... busy with other things *g*. However, I have tried to reduce portion sizes and cut out my nightly glass of wine during the week - have managed to lose a few pounds at long last! YAY on keeping your goal weight – you’re such an inspiration!

I'm taking a break from Weight Watchers as it stopped being very helpful for me, and I need to figure out whether I'm going to return to WW or find another alternative. SparkPeople may be a good option.

But having cooked (and still cooking) for 30+yrs now... I need to remind myself why again and again! Thanks for joining me! Hi Michelle,

Even though I enjoy cooking, I still can feel too tired or time pressed to cook. You have some good reminders here of why it's better to cook than eat out most of the time. What a fun list!

Not until I had that sandwich at Hale and Hearty. Each sandwich had a different green to match the flavor. I really hadn’t either, Michelle. Not until I had that sandwich at Hale and Hearty.

I love adding basil to sandwiches and the chutney sounds refreshing! Hi ANju,

I have to bring finger sandwiches to Church on Sunday (our 125th anniversary celebration) and I was thinking of trying cucumber. Anna, if you see this, do you have a recipe for cucumber sandwiches?
