I'm so happy this morning. When I weighed the scales said 199. I started out at 236. I know that I'm barly there, but I'm happy not to see that big ol 2 looking at me. LOL My goal was to try and loose 35 lbs. by Christmas. I guess I better try and make a new goal. :cursing:

Helen,

It is a fast food burger joint that is known for making little burgers, usually 4 of their will equal 1 on of the other guy's burger. Here is a link. Big part of pop culture here in the states.

What You Crave | White Castle

Thanks Bill!

Good idea if you can only eat very small amounts and are dying for a burger! Can you order just one though or do you have to have a portion of 4? It's ok if you have the family with you and they can finish off the leftovers although it's not very good for them and they are expanding as quickly as I am shrinking lol!

WOOOOO HOOO!!!

WTG MZ.Hen!!!

You sure did get there fast!! It's taken me foreva!!!

Congrats!!!

Helen,

Yes, you can order one or 100. I am one of the "weird" ones that doesn't like them - but that is because they are steamed with onions and I don't like onions. When I lived in Indiana (they don't have white castles west of the Mississippi, I don't think) and everyone wanted to go there, I'd get their fish sandwich - it was really good. I think I may be one of the only ones in the US that don't like their hamburgers!

Ha ha haaaaaaa-I had to comment Vegas-

I don't like them either!!

But give me a big'ole greasy In and Out burger and I would be in HEAVEN!!

Sooooooo glad they don't have them here where I live!!

Oh yeah -In and Out burgers are GREAT -- and they have them all over the place here in LV - including one less than 2 miles from the house ... only thing with In & Out (TMI here) is that they give me (and Bearded too) HORRIBLE gas ... not sure if it's the burger or the fries ... haven't eaten there since surgery.

Helen, White castles are a very small hamburger or cheeze burger. The buns are like a dinner roll. Very soft white bread. The meat patties are square like a large postage stamp. they put chopped onions, grilled if you want on and that is it. No sauces of any kind. there are little packets of ketchup and pickles and mayo you can add your own. The whole thing is steam cooked. All very soft and wonderful. Horrible for you I am sure! It is a chain of fast food places in the Mid west and Eastern part of the US. I do not thave them in California. I have relatives in Michigan. Hence my knowledge. White castles were the cure for a hangover when I was of that inclination. We can get them here frozen from costco, but, they are NOT the same. All the restruants out here are making "sliders" little tiny hamburgers, but, really good ingredients. Excellant for sleevers. Only, three of us need to go eat one plate of them. hahaha. It's all good.

Ky-Hen: congrats to you! I will be joining you by Christmas. (I am a"teener" today~218~) missed 19! Happy happy happy us.

They sound alright! I looked at the link Bill sent and didn't quite get what 'sliders' meant but it is all becoming clearer now. I have never been a fan of burgers, even pre-op I was never much into that type of food and if we ever went to MacDonalds I would always opt for chicken or fish. Fast food tends to make me feel bunged up and sluggish! However, very occasionally I have had the craving and would love lots of fried onions and ketchup on it. I haven't seen anything like that in Costco over here so maybe they don't think that they would appeal to the UK market - good idea for kids' parties though!

Oh my goodness, Judy, I completely missed this thread! CONGRATULATIONS!! :party4:

Congrats Judy! So happy for you. I can't wait until I get there! My goal is to lose 50lbs by Christmas. I hit a mean stall, but got over that and now I'm down 40.2lbs

Woo Hoo!!!! So happy for you......so what's your new goal?

Congratulations Judy! What an awesome victory.

Keep it up GIRL!!!

Linda - you look GREAT!!!!

Congrats!!!!!! That is such an accomplishment- That will be my next update post (whenever it happens) lol.......

I am so looking forward to seeing how we all look this time next year though!
