Congratulations, Lizzie! Isn't is nice to have a friends that know exactly what you are feeling! And you will reach onederland in no time at all! Hope you are planning on some sexy summer pjs!

I'm glad your arm is ok now. I'm very happy with my results. I've done extremely well getting my protein and vitamins in. Unfortunately due to some back, knee and now vein problems my exercise isn't what it should be. Now that it's nice out I'm back to walking outside with a girlfriend every morning I started at 333, I'm a 208, so I've lost 125 lbs. I'm wearing a size 14 ot 16. I'm hoping to still lose some more though. Lizzie

Good morning Lisa It really has been a wild ride on a roller coaster! I'm so glad the MRI showed nothing wrong and that my arm was a pinched nerve, I was scared! My husband and daughter WILL make sure I get in all protein and water from now on, even when I'm drinking water my husband will say "how much water is that so far?" LOL! not doing what I was supposed to not only effects me, it effects and scares my family to. My 24 year old son CRIED! He was the one that seen me pass out and was trying to get me to wake up, He said "I thought you were dead Mama!" and started crying. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TO MY FAMILY AGAIN, OR TO MYSELF. By the way, YOU LOOK MARVELOUS! You also look a lot like my pastor's wife, They use to live in New Orleans and one of there son's lives and preaches at a church there now. Love you my friend Debra

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for the congrads! You are sooo right about the protein and water, bad thing is I KNOW THIS AND DISOBEYED and look what happened! BAAAD DEBRA!! LOL! I AM getting in everything now and with God's help will continue to. And yes it is amazing how much difference our "TOOL" has changed our lives, I just have to keep reminding myself that it IS a "TOOL" and I have to do my part to make the tool work right. Love you! Debra

Hello everyone...well God is certainly in control of my life and He has been teaching me a lot these past 5 days for sure. Persecution for your faith is never easy and when it comes from a family member it is extremely hard. But God is bigger than any persecution I may face and endure. But I know healing will come and love will conquer in the end. I managed to get some outside painting done Praise God! I still have to paint two bedrooms and the front of the house (wood siding) and landscaping. Then the real fun...packing...no I mean it I like packing....time to reflect on what is needful and what is not and at this stage in my life we are downsizing so that is exciting. stuff is just stuff...relationships are important and thus the reason for this move. I want to be near my daughter and her family. We love Colorado and feel that is home to us. I cannot express the joy I have in knowing you my April friends. This past year has been an emotional roller coaster of both ups and downs...learning how to use this tool properly and the way it reacts to my body. Or my body reacts to it. And through it all you have each given a part of yourselves and I thank you for taking risks in our relationship with one another. You have shared your joys and sorrows and laughter and tears and I am forever grateful....I will post now and again to let you know of the progress we are making in the sale of our home and the move. Please pray for us for wisdom in whether to use realtor and who and also for how much money to put into the home to sell it. I pray the Lord blesses each of you with the desire of your heart and that your health and strength would continue. In His love, Joan M
