Just noticed posts are slowing down. How's everybody doing? I just moved my daughter into her dorm room at Western Illinois University. OMG! What a work out! It's hard being a single mom moving a "drama queen" daughter into 11th floor of a dorm. Thank God, we were first in. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't lost all this weight. It would of been almost impossible to rearrange all the stack-able oak furniture in her room at least 5x. (I lost 5 lbs. doing it!) LOL

I have not weighed 177 lbs. since 1985. Wow. Hard to wrap my brain around, but enjoyable.

If life knocks you down 7 times, get up 8!Laura_Illinois

You are not old enough to have a freshman!!!   Well, maybe you are, but you don't look it.  That's a good thing!

This was my first week back at school.  Lots of meetings and staff development.  Got many compliments and I loved all of them!  I know they will slow down soon, but I'll take as many as I can get right now.

"Drama Queen"  Love it!!!  I got 2 little drama queens myself...8 and 9 going on 18 and 19.  

WTG on moving your daughter into her dorm room!  I remember when I first went off to college.  I packed everything in my car and went by myself.  I was trying to be independent but looking back on it, I sooo wish my parents had been there to help me move in.
