Fat Class Recap 10

Jed approaches me before class.  "Are you the Muffin Lady?"  It's like he can never remember that he asks me regularly about recipes.  I think he doesn't know if it's me or Paulie.  I say I am.  (I am the Muffin Lady).  He sits down all excited. 

"Guess what I did this weekend?"  He asks excitedly.

"Made muffins?" I speculate.

"I did!" He exclaims, "And, they were great!"

So, I inquire about them since it appears he'd like to discuss them indepth.  He tells me about the muffins he made (him, not his wife) and his "accounting style" approach to cooking.  He made BIG muffins and then cut them in halfs.  Then, he would toast the halfs in the oven spray fake butter on them.

"They tasted like Popeyes biscuits," he says.

This, I doubt.  But, my head drifts to Popeyes and those delicious butter biscuits.

"Popeyes biscuits..." I say under my breath.

"I didn't mean to talk dirty," he says and smiles.

Jed then says begins asking about the soup cracker recipe and informs me that I really need to "get back to that Betty Crocker labortory of yours and figure it out!"  He said this with great urgency.  I sense that he is desperately seeking a fix of the crunch. 

I tell him I'll try to get on that but don't make any real commitment.

Beyond my pre-class recipe exchange with Jed, there's little more to report.  Except - we were asked to write our complete weight loss up until now. 

Here's the results:

*This woman is NOT in our class usually.  She's been on the diet a year.

Taking out the year long dieter, our class has lost 328 pounds, with an average of 25 pounds a person.  I'd like to point out that both Pallie and I are, of course, above average!!  Also, take note that the men definitely lose weight faster than the women.   Several of these men didnt even start the program with us - a few started 2 weeks into it.
