Week Twelve

Two more pounds! I am so thrilled...and enjoying the experience.

Charles and I went fishing Saturday so my recipe is as follows:

2 large Crappie (White Perch) cleaned whole
2 T lite Mayonaise
Yellow mustard
Lemon Juice

Make a paste out of the Mayo, mustard, and lemon juice.
Coat both sides of the fish and place in an aluminum pouch.
Place in pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

6 oz of fish = 4 points

TASTEY!!!!

Week Eleven

Another Weigh In Day! This is week eleven for me and I have lost 30.5 pounds. I am really excited. I will have to say I am also very satisfied with meals and meal planning.


Friday night Charles' son brought crawfish to boil. I was really wondering what I was going to eat until I visited Point List I found on the Internet. Crawfish (Crayfish...HA) is 1 point for 1/2 cup (2 oz.) It takes a bit of crawfish to make 1/2 cup. I had a small ear of corn, 2 points, and one small potatoe for 3 points. SO for about 6 points....WOW what a fiest!

February 9, 2009

Well...it has been two weeks since I posted. It has been a very sad week. I lost my dad, Clarence Edward Dossett. He was buried in Natchez, MS on Saturday...next to my mom. He was a great dad!

OK...I guess my post for this week is...you CAN go through emotional events and still stay true to the WW plan. Making a choice to follow the points was made before I found myself hungry...or staring at plates of food provided by precious church friends after the service.

I weighed today...2 more gone! (oh...and I lost 2 last week)
