Been awhile but I'm back!!

Hi guys! Life has been quite busy and I don't spend much time sitting around on the computer anymore. My eight year old is enjoying all the time I can now spend with her. Today I went out and shoveled the 26 inches of snow that we got and didn't get winded at all. Even was able to take my daughter out sledding for another hour after shoveling. I'm still amazed at the difference in energy level. 129 lbs ago I would have shoveled 5 feet and been winded and aching. I've been on a stall for the past 2 months, but I know it's cause I've been putting in too many carbs. I've realized I can now eat sugar and fat that I couldn't eat until about 10 months out. Now I've gotta watch it cause fear won't work anymore! I keep teetering between 200.5 and 202 - just can't seem to get below that 200 mark - but I know I will get there some day!! I've just sent in an email with a new photo, since this one is still my original one. Hope to be able to get back here more regularly. Marla

So great to hear from you, Marla. And yes, the ability to move and maintain energy is the greatest gift. Take care, Maureen
