Just found out that I am invited to my Aunt & Uncle's 50th anniversary celebration. It will be November 3rd. Between now and then, I need to drop these last few pounds and accelerate my toning up a bit. Any healthy suggestions would be appreciated. Not going is not an option. ALL relatives should be gathered for this. They "forgot" to invite me to Thanksgiving last year and I want to be as "on my game" as much as is possible for me. Not for them. Thanks!

At the risk of going further off track, how far would you have to go to get truly off-topic in this place?

About 6 foot to the left and 3 foot down should be about right scotz.

I've seen many a thread go much farther afield than that, MV.

Getting back on track, I say ditto to everything Lixy said, Mae...altho' you saying they "forgot" to invite you to TG last year says to me there are probably bigger issues on the family table than your figure, still just wearing the confidence of being the whole woman that you are should be enough to carry the day...

And if being yourself isn't good enough..."Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck," I always say...

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

If you're disciplined enough, do a fast.

If you're fast enough . . . .

Thank you for the encouragement and compliments. Yes, they all have some odd petty issues, but I don't get sucked into that. I'm there to celebrate their 50 years. I just want to feel good and healthy and have fun with it.

Steph...I am considering a fast to begin. Then I would move to "Ultimate Meal" shakes. I have done that before and they are healthy and would help ease my system back into the vegetarian menu. I'm also doing water aerobics and have just begun Tai Chi.

***By the way guys...great twisted sense of humor.
