Hi Lovespink:

Congratulations! Way to go- exciting news!

I've been living WW for years- here are my suggestions for next week-

Plan ahead for restaurant dining and otherwise, review menus- choose in advance; consider an appetizer and a salad instead of a whole dinner. Think like the French- something decadent but small!!!!!

If you want an alcoholic beverage with dinner, drink a whole glass of water before drinking or even ordering the beverage! If I want a second alcoholic beverage, I have the same rule- another glass of water before the alcohol. (Maybe you'll earn some activity points for running back and forth to the rest room!!!)

Snacks- instead of the pre-packaged snacks, think PROTEIN: Have a delicious cube of cheese (for example) and the freshest most attractive apple - or other piece of fruit- that you can find and drink a big glass of water with that!

Enjoy your time with your fiance and keep up the great work!!!!!
