Oh CRAP! I ate 4 Malted milk ball eggs. I have been good considering I made 4 easter baskets up! I would have eaten alot more last year! But I bought some clothes the other day. I bought size 16 capri pants for the summer. That will be the smallest I have been in like 12 years. I have a goal, I think that is why I quit after 4 Malted Milk Balls! Jenn

Happy Easter Everyone---Hope you are all enjoying your day. My family and I just got back from having dinner out and let me tell you the house is clean, and NO DISHES to clean! I must admit though--today I pigged out and did cheat a bit but tomorrow is another day and I plan on getting right back on the bandwagon. I did not cheat with candy but rather tasting a few of those Italian pastries and the strawberry shortcake my daughter had for dessert and oh, the home made biscuits that came with dinner. Now I am sitting here listening to some growling sounds. I am not upset because I always stay on track and for one special day to go off the wagon I don't think is too bad or worrisome! Now--for my question- I started losing my hair rather late at about 5 months out but nothing really to get upset about. My daughter tells me she loses more than me each day when she washes her hair in the shower, but it is annoying to me. What I would like to know is about how long does this whole hair loss process usually last? I know everyone is different but just to have a ball park idea. I hope it ends soon because the annoying part of it all is constantly cleaning the hair from my comb and countertop. Thanks! Going to relax now--one good thing is at least I didn't have to come home and get out of my clothes because I was uncomfortable. I am proud to say that I am not full but satisfied!

Hi Susan, I didn't get an email from you, and I wonder why you don't have that www at the bottom of the posts :-? Thank you for your comments about my pics. I do feel much more relaxed than I did before. I am more comfortable now. You have me pegged with the BLACK clothes! Especially shirts and sweaters. I just feel good in black, it's not even about looking slimmer, I like it with my skin tone. But you are right I need to break out of that a bit, and I have been trying. I have purchased a few things in colors, but not so much the jewel tones like you said. I will keep an eye out for cute tops with more rich colors. How are you doing? I hope you and your partner are doing ok, and your little guy too Take care and you have a fun day as well! Love, Sue

Thank you all for the advise. I think while I am in Boston for a month I am going to hit Niemen Marcus(?) because I love their clothes and we do not have one up here in Maine. Sue, I would love to go shopping with you, but I'll have to look into a plane ticket.LOL Hey, thats another great thing! I could actually fit in a plane seat now not have to squeeze into it and have permanent hip dents the rest of the day where the arms were! Thanks for the advise though everyone! I appreciate it.

Sue, I loved the pictures. I am getting a chicken neck. Did you do any exercise or was it just the cream you used that got rid of it? What is the exact name of the cream? It probably won't help me because I am 53 years old. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -96lbs
