Want to thank everyone for their support!

I asked for an accountability partner and a few people responded and being the bad person I am, I haven't kept in touch, but even with that small amount of encouragement, I've started losing weight again! We've had this HUGE proposal at work, taking up massive amounts of my time, and then my mother and mother-in-law wanting to take up tons of my time at home due to the fires surrounding the area where I live (there's no immediate danger here, but you can't convince them of that), but I've still forced myself to get my cleaning in, my workouts in, my healthy meals made, etc. I've lost 4 lbs!!!!! I was in shock when I stepped on the scales and they showed the loss and not the same steady number they've shown for the past six months. Woohoo! Thanks guys and sorry I didn't hold myself accountable to contacting you guys even after you encouraged me as I asked you to. Tonya

Hey Tonya! First of all congrats on the new weight loss!!! I am in Jacksonville too. What area of town are you in? Man was it ever smoky out today!!! I am in the Arlington area. Maybe we can meet up sometime! Let me know what you think. Hang in there now! Kat

Thanks, Kat. I live on the Westside, in a bad neighborhood but work in the southern part of Riverside at a non-profit agency for the elderly. Yeah, the smoke was bad and our elderly clients were really feeling it. It would be great to get together if I ever had time. I work full time (always one crisis or another *sigh*), have my 3yr old to myself (husband is deployed Navy), and am taking 6 credit hours online at night in an eight week class. I know, excuses, excuses. But I'd love some adult friends away from work.... Thanks again, Tonya
