Dear MamaM,
Great input, I never thought of it as being possible to just do liquids. I've got to give it a try this year and the Good Lord willing I won't pass out

LOL.
Of-course this cutting back on calories will only last 'til I shed the holiday lbs.

and then back to normal daily diet.
I wish you were a neighbor I could enjoy doing our daily walks together; talking the whole way about our menu for dinner ha-ha!
Once again thanks a bunch for the great tips!
