You and me Peter! :nod

[EmilyBee]

You really would need more money than sense!

No wonder we see so many celebrities go bankrupt :nod

[Peterlock]

Lauren,

I'm ready let's go!....we can charge this to weight watchers : )

[Moochiecat]

A hamburger and a veggie plate at Chez Moochie will run you about six bucks....

Now taking reservations!!! :yes

[cleochatra]

I'd like a table on the veranda please. :joy

[Moochiecat]

Done...but the only space available is right by the cat tree....don't worry, she doesn't like people food, just the odd bit of chicken or cheese.
Oh..and don't mind the cat hair, all part of the ambiance, you know.

:yikes Even if I could afford that, I don't think I would actually find myself dining at those places, ever. o.O I'll eat at my inexpensive places...

Cat hair is insoluble fiber. It has 0 net carbs.

Mmm, gotta love eating that cat hair. Yummy. Of course there is the occasional hair balls that you have to cough up, but at least, to me, it's filling. -cough hack wheeze-

Ok Peter, you and me at Norma's! LOL! :wave

I can't believe that people think that Atkins is expensive. I was so expecting to spend a lot of money on food but I really haven't. And you can get some good deals on meat if you keep your eyes open, buy in bulk (if you got freezer space), and go like Sam's or Costco sometimes. I was reading a People magazine last month on these women that lost a lot of weight on progams and I could not believe what they paid to lose weight:

Jenny Craig---$49 dollars for 2 months + $91 a WEEK for the cost of her food

Nutrisystem--for the cost of food and online assistance $247 a month!

Weight Watchers---being the cheapest at $13 per week (not counting paying for missed days, if you miss any days) and even though the food does not have to be part of the program, if you did buy mainly WW food, like I know some people that do, you would spend on average $50-$60 a week.

How could cooking your own food be more expensive? Those women were crazy. I'd go rope and cook my own cow before I do one of those programs! :joy
