Sorry if this is posted twice.... didn't show up on my news reader
******

Well, I finally stepped on a scale and I am down to 132.5 When I really
started my new WOL (I no longer think of it as a diet) I was sometimes
finding the scale at 140. I've been kind of monitoring my weight in the
morning and evening throughout the past couple of days and am very happy to
see that at night I haven't been going past 133.5.

Yesterday, I had my first Krispy Kreme donut experience. I was presented
with one and was expected to eat it. First, I kinda stuck my nose up at it
(food snob, ya know ), but since I have never EVER eaten a KK donut I
broke off a one inch piece and tried it out. YUCK. I then had to detoxify
myself with a bottle of 100% cranberry juice.

I can think of few things nastier tasting than cranberry juice. But,
to each his (or her) own.

I think I'm addicted to the stuff. I go through a jug of Ocean Spray every
week.
You're right - to each his own.

Excellent! Well done. Do bear in mind, though, that your weight does
fluctuate during the day, and even during a week - you really ought to
weigh yourself at the same time each day, wearing the same clothes (i.e.
nothing at all!). Some say it's counter-productive to weigh yourself
more than once a week.

Which is full of sugar! I dislike cranberry juice. I haven't tried KK,
either - we only have one outlet in this country, in Harrods, and I went
and had a look. It was very easy to walk away, they looked vile! I do
like ordinary jam doughnuts that you get in the supermarket or bakeries
here, but those looked disgusting!

I was working in the yard this weekend and the wife thought I needed a
thirst-quencher. She brought me a tall glass of cranberry juice and I
took half a sip and almost spit it out. It was like drinking syrup.
Salty syrup. She said I needed something like Gatorade and this was
good for me To make this more like Gatorade, she had added kosher
salt. I told her I'd rather suffer until I could get some of water.

Krispy Kreme is the work of Satan. BTW, Dick Clark (he of American
Bandstand) owns that KK in Harrods.

I wonder if that "cranberry juice" is in fact a "CRANBERRY JUICE
cocktail" (cranberry juice in big letters and "cocktail" in small
letters. That "cocktail" contains mostly water and high fructose corn
syrup and some red dye, plus a bit of cranberry juice.

Here it is called "Cranberry juice drink", has to be, since it is not a
pure fruit juice, but has added sugar (not corn syrup, I think, which is
not used in this country) and water. It's too strong for me - I like to
dilute it 50:50 with water if I drink it, and I only do if I have
cystitis (and it *is* good for cystitis).

Ocean Spray makes a 100% PURE cranberry juice? As in, on the ingredients list
there is nothing else but cranberry juice, no other added sugars or anything?

This is what I do. Although I do like to drink cranberry juice on its
own (and this IS real cranberry juice, and not a sugar-laden cocktail -
I am not low-carbing, so the fact that it has naturally occurring sugars
does not bother me), I often dilute it with water.

And, to add to my original post - I actually had a fitness test tonight.
Body fat down from 35.7% (Apr/03) to 26.3%. VERY HAPPY. Overall, I
was totally impressed with all of my results-better aerobic capacity,
flexibility (went from 15" to 21"!), better everything! My BF% is still
a little high, but a major improvement. I must be do something right.
