Dropped another 10 lbs, total lost: 78 lbs to date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all I've been through, my Dad dying on 2/15/06, and the grief I've faced, I've still managed to lose weight. I think mostly from stress, but I did manage to maintain my nutrients! 
I now am at 161, my lowest yet. I have lost 78 pounds to date, which is 2 pounds short of 16 - 5 lb bags of sugar 
. That's a lot of sugar!!!
My BMI when I began my journey was 47. something, now down to 32. something. Though I feel better, so much better, I am still crying inside because of my loss. So forgive me please - lately I find it hard to stop thinking about Dad, and just what all he had to go through those last few days and how I rushed to be at my Mom's side when I called her.....I called her moments after Dad had passed, and knew in my heart something was terribly wrong. I said, "What's happening?" and Mom replied, "We just lost Dad"....and was going to hand the phone to our neighbor who was there and I said, "No, I'm on my way". 3.5 hours later I was home.......I have not been able to get that out of my mind either. I knew he had left, somehow, someway.
Now I face returning to "MY" life, and had to miss class today because I've been a bundle of nerves, tears and emotions. 
I just want to say THANK YOU to those *****plied to my post about Dad's passing, and all your kind words and thoughts meant a great deal to me. While I was home I was still receiving emails and it just made me happy to know this corner of my world is so wonderful and caring. 
If you would like to see some family photos taken while I was home, the first time in over 25 years my two sisters and I have been all together and photographed, plus some other great pics, and my actual weight loss website, please visit the following website url:

I closed down the guestbook but you can shoot me an email if you'd like.
Thanks again for all the warm and generous care and concern.
I am so filled with emotion lately that this means a great deal to me.
