It's so strange how we communicate only on the computer here, but we all seem to get sick at the same time, go up and down with our successes at the same time, having stressful days at the same time, etc. That is so great! Misery really can love company. And it is so much more helpful to see that someone else can do fantastic when I'm really struggling. Lets me know that all is possible. Yesterday was very stressful at work, had a few too many drinks last night and that put my eating over the limit .... again. At least I've figured out through all of this just what can make me maintain. Now I have to try even harder and get to the losing part. Have a super day everyone.

I hope I can keep checking into the forum next week when with my dad. It sounds like he's going to keep me running, needs lots of looking-after. So I'll probably be on-the-go with him to keep his mind from straying too much. Getting old . . . hmm. I had a freakish thought this week. I'm in great shape physically--gonna live forever. Yikes, I think my body is going to oulive my mind!!!

This morning my weight held so I got brave enough to take out the tape measure. What a surprise. There were small positive changes in the right places--my waist and thighs. Not much, half inch or so, but something. I have been working out regularly, esp the lower body. And I do all sorts of abs even though I hate 'em.

So good luck everyone with your goals this week.
