Jen, one of my all time [southern favorites] is pouring Coke [some people like Pepsi]over vanilla icecream for a float. That will consolidate a bunch of calories. By the way, you mentioned being on your feet all day doing housework etc. Could you just delegate that for a while. I have a sign hanging in my kitchen that says "Dull Women have immaculate homes" So find a great book and sit on your skinny butt for several hours everyday. No excuses! Amy
