The souffle is microwave scrambled eggs. The zucchini quiche is the rec ipie in the Kansas City Star on August 31. Baked in a dish without the crust.

Blue Nile on the 16th is good for me. Saw Nola last time I was in the office. She came in while I was waiting for Hoehn in treatment room. Just wanted to say...etc. The friends comment is always made when she chairs support group. MOVING ON.

I finally got my medical records from Hoehn's office. But before they were sent, the office manager,Pat, callled me for an interview. She wanted to know why I wanted the records, what doctor I would be moving to, why I was leaving. I told her about my negative experience with Nola: the not returned phone calls, the incorrect information, the cracks about other patients, the patronizing and unprofessional attitude. I also said Hoehn had been fine, Billie was great, and Becky had been very helpful (correcting Nola's mistakes). I didn't like the triple booking appts. on Fridays. I told her I had talked to Sabapathy about it. He had acknowledged other patients had trouble with Nola. I asked her if Hoehn knew about this. I had mentioned it to him.. Pat was noncomittal. Of course. I said I was especially fed up with Nola telling me about all the patients who were her close friends. I don't go to doctors to make new friends. I'm looking for strictly professional relationships. Doubt if anything will come of it.

Nolagirl..best wishes on the new job Ghost....Never get on the scale at night. I think you are scaling waaaaay tooooo much. The natural variations in weight need some time to even out. For me, getting one scale that much would be extremely discourging. I think once a week is more than enough. I would love to see you all at a dinnner again. But not on the same night as the SM support group. I'm dropping out. See next post.

Sept. 1 another fresh start. I'm still slowly losing. Have decided to watch portions closely and go back to low glycemic index (South Beach) for you non-diabetics. Today: coffee/skim milk, turkey, tomatoes, egg/lowfat cheese souffle, crust free zuchinni quiche , English walnuts 55 oz water.

Diane. Consistancey is truly the key to success. You've done well.

I'm back from vacation and catching up. Will post food etc. at the end of the day. Wheetsin will reply to your post about changing doctors on the chica site.

The New York Times magazine article is on the NYT website. If you go soon, it"s free. Although you may have to register(free). After some time you have to pay.

MICROBESITY. Important article in today's New York Times Magazine. Lots to think about and some new ideas.

Important article about obesity in today"s New York Times magazine. Well worth the time.

as I understood this, several "regulars" will be out of town and not at the Thursday SM meeting. I don't think there is a dinner after either. So willskip Sm and go to Bandsters instead.

I went to the Tuesday group at Heartline Spine and Speculity. Really liked it. Very positive with guest speakers and potential field trips. Small compared to SM. But learned some things, Will try KC bandsters at the end of the month.

When your efforts begin to show your weightloss sucess the brothers will be first inline to claim credit for your work. Ignore them now and ignore them in the future. Go girl! Never apologize, never explain.

You're truly an inspiration and an example for me....you go girl!

The Heartland Spine and Surgery Bariartic group meets the second Tuesday of every month at the Hospital. They meet in the lobby and then go upstairs to the staff break room. I plan to give this a try.

The Melting Pot on the 6th would be fine with me. Count me in! What is the address? Time again?

Great to see you all last night! Wheetsin: obviously ther's a lot going on in your life, but what happened to the dog? I think the doctor/prgram manager who contacted you is very unethical. I see Heartland Spinal has a support group at 7pm on the second Tuesday of each month. I may give this a try as well. Determined to get l0,000 steps. Have three thousand to go after dinner.

My name is Pat. I'll be at Panarea. I"m a very slow loser and not happy about it.

Is there going to be a get togeather after this weeks meeting? Where?

Ha ve you tried microwave eggs souffle? Take 1-2 eggwhites, one whole egg, shredded cheese. Microwave about 40 secs. Stir. microwave another 15. I sometimes add onion, ham, or use just egg whites..

I increased the exercise and have been careful abiut portion sizes . Lost three lbs. in ten days. Maybe some of us are just slooooooooww losers.

I found out the hard way that doing the exercise is the crucial element to weight loss. A very slow band loser. But things got better when I got serious about walking and swimming. Try it!
