Karen, the "event" is just that I am going to NY to see my in-laws. When I saw them last I was being strict about the program and they gave me a lot of grief. They didn't see me when I was down 20+. I want to show them that it does work and I look and feel so much better. I'll just work toward my goal and it will happen. They are Italians and really push the bread and pasta. I can do it. Thank you all so much.
