Dear Band Groupie - I was on a road trip from Tue-Sat. Before I left, I was struggling - weight loss was flat for many days. ((This is basically what I just blogged - it is my big update!!))

So naturally I was concerned about taking a road trip - where would I eat? when? what could I eat? dinner at conference? etc

I came back and had lost 4 pounds!

Cracker Barrel was actually a pretty good place to eat for someone 3-4 weeks out. I could choose the vegetable platter and had some good choices: applesauce, cottage cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes.

Also, Ruby Tuesday's salad bar had good choices-cottage cheese, edamame, garbanzo beans, parmesan cheese, diced ham, beets, etc.

My big emotional victory-went from 267 (highest weight) - thru the 260s, 250s, 240s, and now am in the 230s ... finally. The farther I get from that top weight the happier I am.

Have gone from size 24 jackets and slacks to 18-20 jackets and 22 slacks. It makes a big difference already.
