oh my gosh if i were any more proud of you people would think i birthed you myself! You not only went for it and succeeded in a fabulous time but you did it wounded, dang that's just awesome! What is next for you my dear further farther or just faster at this point? Is there something that you can do next time to ensure your little piggies don't get wounded, what do other runners do? I'm so proud of you Deanna YOU ROCK!!!! Hugs, ANDI

Hi Maria I've been struggling to know how many calories I should be eating. Up to recently I've been eating below 1000 per day but haven't been losing, so thought I'd try and find out seeing as I haven't had the benefit of a NUT to ask. After looking at all this stuff I've figured that I need to eat between 1200 - 1500 per day to lose. And now I've upped my intake it does seem to be working and I think the weight is shifting again. I'll let you know on Friday when I do my official weigh in. Mindyou, it says my metabolic age is 52!! Not kind seeing as I'm only 43 yikes! Also says my ideal weigh tis 132 which was my otiginal goal - slap bang in the middle of normal bmi range. I really don't think I'm going to get there so have revised my goal to get to normal bmi. I will still try to keep going but won't be stressing myself out to get there. Have a good day and rest those brain cells

you look wonderful! Maria

Hi Darlene, good to see you again. Blimey!! You look incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooooo tiny. WOW. I'm not really into rugby, but have heard of them! Hunky rugby guys...yummmm. What's ben going on with you lately then?

PROBLEM SOLVED.... 40 oz of coffee is too much coffee... so now I have a nice single egg fried in 1 Tbl of pure butter and gently laid on a slice of home made whole wheat bread with the crusts cut off. 3 or 4 hours later, I make 1 single mug of coffee.. about a 12 oz mug. and then I am FINE.. no dumping for four days now! HOLY COW... two ding dongs today were seriously tempting fate, but I sneaked in under the wire. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT???
