Subject: Back for encouragement

It is so nice to see that this group is still here. And I need this group now.
Went to the doc yesterday and my numbers are up. He is giving me 3 months to get back in control. We are hoping it was just the holiday season that got me. I know I ate more "bad" stuff than I usually do.
So I started watching as soon as I got home. I so wanted a cup of hot chocolate!!! But I had a cup of tea instead.I have also gained weight so I have to watch it. And it will be even harder now because I fell a week ago and haven't been moving around as much.The doc said it will take about 6 to 8 weeks for my knee to heal--and hopefully I won't need any surgery.
So gang, I will be visiting daily except for the weekends-hubby is home and we are usually busy visiting or running errands.
So later, girls!

Welcome back! We haven't gone anywhere. I too am trying to lose weight and get back in control. Easier said than done.

As for hot chocolate I found some no sugar added at my local Giant Eagle. It is $1 for 8 packets. its not bad. I have a recipe that LoriJean shared on voy. I just saw it. I will try to find it and post.

Thanks Wendy!
I found some sugar free choc. milk at the store this week. I figure a little of that won't hurt!I'll have to look at Giant Eagle too for the packets. Where did you find them in the store?

I'll have to look for it the next time I am at the store. We are pretty much snowed in right now. My hubby cleared our driveway but our street is a dead end street and is one of the last to be plowed. We probably have about 10 inches of new snow on top of what we already had--so a total of about 20 inches.
And I fell a couple weeks ago so I don't go out unless I have to. My knee needs to get better!
