I have 6 pounds to go to meet my goal. I have a doctor's appointment to day and he will be happy. The problem is that my mom is coming to visit from down south. She grew up here in New England. She is going to be here for 11 days! I have explained that I don't want to gain too much weight with her wanting to go out to eat and cook her old favorites... she isn't really listening, no matter how I have explained. She wants to cook large traditional breakfasts, go out to lunch and dinner. Seafood (lobster and haddock), Italian food and Chinese food. We are going to Boston to visit the rest of the family for 3 days. So... my weight entries should be interesting starting Thursday. I will have to have to redo the weight loss in January and February. 6 pounds to go.... oh well. 11 days of hopelessly fighting with my mom.... The weight gain is only temporary.... That is encouraging and I will portion control it all. Wish me luck! 

Good luck Sweetie, but you know what you want and how to achieve it! Lobster get it boiled, haddock get it broiled, chinese well avoid it! Offer to help her prepare her cooking that way you have a say. She's Mom she doesnt want to sabotage your diet intentionally let her know ahead of time before she arrives that way she is more prepared to pamper her babygirl the correct way!
