Another topic of discussion was brought to us by Mary N. She ordered a collection of guided weight loss tapes aka hypnosis. Think and Lose is the title of this DVD class.

Here’s the bio and the link for further information>>

Mary brought up the question of, “what is lavash?” Well, I looked that up. It is a Middle East type of flatbread. You can find in now in most markets, but you can make your own. I’ve found a page that I really liked for the recipe. It seems easy and not very expensive to make. This is the page-- http://www.passionateaboutbaking.com/2008/11/lavash-crackers-again-with-roasted-bell.html

Finally, we want to welcome Linda R. to our group. She has been dieting (on her own) for a little while and even before joining out ‘little group’ she has lost 12 pounds!!! Congratulations on your weight loss success.

My parting thought this week …WHAT DO YOU EAT FOR BREAKFAST?

If everyone would come prepared to tell us what you eat, when you eat it and is it satisfying to eat? Does it hold the hunger bunnies away until your next 400 calorie meal?

And don’t forget…bring any topics or questions you have to group. I’ll do my best to research and find answers or links for everyone.
