Hi Fran,

I reslove to try to lose that 20 lbs. And pass Math!!!  I am in school again struggling with my last 4 classes which are the dreaded math!!!! I stink at it.
I would love to have plastics done at some point, but can't yet as I dont have the extra 20 grand laying around.
Heres to you girls!

Hi,  I hope everyone is settling in to the new year well.  Any resolutions to share?  I am going to save money and try to go on at least one trip every year.  This year it will be Mexico.  I am planning to jump off the "cliff of courage".  Maybe one year a trip could be some where to meet all our friends here.   Keep well everyone.  Fran

Hi Tara,  Let me know when you feel well enough to try the pouch test.  I had a flu shot this year...I have to every year for work so hopefully it protects me.  I would like to have someone to do the pouch test with.  I hope to get healthy this year but I need to break some old bad habits.  I have been getting to the gym a few times a week.  I have a pool where I live (apartment) but I rarely use it. It's so easy to put off the things you know you should do.  On the plus side...I wasn't exercising at all a year and a half ago so I guess I have made some progress.  Talk to you soon.

Hi Tara, Brenda and Kathleen,  We are not posting much anymore are we.  Tara,  don't think of yourself as a failure.  You have been maintaining around the same weight for quite some time now and your encouragement and struggles are what help others (me) to continue on and to try to be strong.  Sometimes I can do it and at other times I have great difficulty.  I put on 3 pounds this week.  I have been eating cookies and chocolate again.  I don't know why I keep doing this to myself.  As I sit here I feel sick from eating too many crackers.  I don't even really enjoy the things I have been eating and still I eat.  I have been thinking of trying the 5 day pouch test.  Maybe if I prove to myself that I can stick to something for at least 5 days I can get myself back on track. I need to make some New Year's resolutions and stick to them.  Hope you didn't get the flu Tara...that's a miserable way to lose weight. 

Please don't stop posting....I need you all and appreciate all the support I get from all of you.

Hi Fran!
Ice cream does the same thing to me...along with many other things.  But I'm grateful..it helps keep me on the straight and narrow LOL.

135 lbs today.  This is the second consecutive Holiday season that I've LOST weight.  Praise God!!  I'm wearing a size 4 and nearing a size 2.  It's still unreal to me.  I'll take this unreal over most other unreals though lol.

I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas and an even better 2009 to come!

Love you all!

Brenda
