Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I did see the Welcome to Fat Land show. Interesting.. I had a feeling that the leader's approach would either get them to accept themselves OR have them feeling revolted and ready to commit to weight loss. That one guy that was so upset with her did end up losing 50 lbs after the show was filmed. Do you think the two women that stayed friends became lovers while on the trip. I had that feeling. That's really annoying that Junonia didn't process the order you made! GRR! I only tried ordering form them once and had a bad experience, too. I think mine was that they didn't tell me the item was sold out when I ordered it and I got a notice about a month later. Good luck with your new job and congrats! BTW, I think you were asking about breakfasts to go in another post? The Quaker breakfast bar things look pretty good and reasonable points. ~Angel On Thu, 8 Jun 2006, Ann and wrote: > Hi losers, > > I'm glad to be home after a week visiting my sister in Savannah.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 The more I hear about Junonia, the gladder I am that I just shelled out an extra $20 for a swimsuit and went to Avenue and got one! RE: Breakfast bars. would probably be better served by something such as the Pria Carb-select bars. HOWEVER, I know that ONE of these isn't likely to satisfy his appetite. The Cranberry Orange breakfast bar (37g-weight?) by Quaker has 26g of carbs, 9 of which are sugar. Now... the Quaker Q-Smart bars are much lower in carbs. A 28g-weight bar has 9g of carbs, 2g of fiber 1g of sugar (the rest is probably sugar alcohols). No clue how either of these taste SulaBlue > > > Hi losers, > > > > I'm glad to be home after a week visiting my sister in Savannah. We had > > fun but I'm tired and ready to get back to my own bed.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 ----- Original Message ----- From: SulaBlue > The more I hear about Junonia, the gladder I am that I just shelled out > an extra $20 for a swimsuit and went to Avenue and got one! It's sad that their inventory management is so terrible because the suits really are nice. What's Avenue? Egads. I just found their website and clicked on blouses. Gauzy retro stuff definately isn't me. I'd wear a few things on the shirts page though. I checked the store locator and there is one right near my new job so I'll check it out on my lunch break one day. I didn't like any of the swim suits. Junonia has spoiled me for their tankinis. I'm looking forward to putting the Land's End one to the test tomorrow though. > would probably be better served by something such as the Pria Carb-select bars. HOWEVER, I know that ONE of these isn't likely to satisfy his appetite. I called the doc today and made an appointment for for Thursday afternoon. It will be interesting to hear what the doc says.
