Thank you Jeanna! Now if I could only get rid of this SKIN!! Because I had the twins at 100 lbs heavier and carried them transverse to full term, I have WAY more skin than most people who've lost what I have. As for the gym clothes, luckily, my mom just gave me a big bag of her gym clothes. The only problem is she's apparently a lot more comfortable with her body than I am with mine!! I don't know if I'm mentally ready for tight tank tops with built in bras and leggings yet! Carolyn

Jackie, I too am glad to hear you are on the mend after such an ordeal. Take care and stay well. Sorry you had to go through this. I am impressed with your positive attitude. Keep smiling. Lori

Ok everyone, back in October I asked if anyone wanted to be in a holiday card exchange and only received 3 emails giving me names and addresses. I am compiling the list and want to get it out ASAP so people can get their cards out. Sorry for those of you that replied already that I haven't gotten the addresses out yet. Also, sorry to those that responded yes in the Roll Call that I did, but I don't have an email with your name and address so if you could please forward that on within the next day so I can get the list out, I appreciate it. We have grown to an amazingly supportive family these past couple of months, so let's show our support to each other this holiday season as well. This is what it is all about. I love you all!!!!! Jeanna P.S. EMAIL ME!!!!!

Nancy, I feel for you. I still love to bake and have problems not having any "tastes", but we all know it is more than just a taste. I am so glad you posted those questions. I need to ask myself those all the time, not just when I am cooking or baking, but especially when I am bored. I am still tempted and fall to the boredom eating. I need to get past this. We are all worth it, you are right and I know that, but sometimes I need that proverbial "KICK IN THE A$$" too!!! Good luck with the baking, I am going to do some this weekend too. Jeanna

CYNDI, congratulations hon!!!!! I love the fact that you are riding a new horse with a new attitude!!! We are all going to ride off into the sunset with you and have a blast doing it!!!!! I LOVE THE PICTURE!!!!! Like the others said, portion control. Everyday I have had candy in the past couple weeks. I should be able to have a piece or 2 but now a handful a couple times a day if not hour, like I used to. We can't beat ourselves up for it, that would be going back to our old habits and those were thrown out with yesterdays' trash!!! Keep up the great work and you are going to knock the socks off of your doctor next time you see him. Jeanna
