Glad things are getting a bit more settled after such a difficult spell. All is fine over here! Maintaining happily at approx 20lbs below goal (around the 146 -148 mark). I always find 1200 is the optimum for losing steadily. Less seems to have very little added effect. Now I find that I just eat what I want and don't worry about the calorie content - as I don't want to lose more, the quantity restriction is enough. How does the sleeve work? You just feel full? Second daughter's wedding just before Xmas, first grandson now 4 months and adorable!! I like being a granny! Son still doing his round-the-world-on-no-money bit. Currently doing conservation work in NZ, hoping to go back to his favourite bit - India! Mike and I both taking early retirement - Mike at end June, me at end of school year (end July). Yippee! Kate

For a minute there I thought, garage in Feb? Must be nice to live in CA I need to set up my total gym again. It's been folded up with moving tape around it since I moved over a year ago. Thanks for reminding me.

We have a 3 car garage, of which for 3 YEARS my sons broken down race car has been in one side of it. I have longed to turn the space into a little workout area for us. We have a treadmill and an exercise bike, a total gym, and a weight bench, and we've had nowhere to put any of them, except upstairs in a spare bedroom, where nobody uses them! Sooooo, we sold the car Saturday, and DH cleaned out the garage. No excuses now...I can have all my stuff, and he even built a TV shelf so we can watch it while in the equipment if we want. Woo-hoo! I think I will finally get the elliptical that I wanted, but never had space for. I am also going to skip the wine during the week. I can't seem to lose when I drink it, even when I count the points. I think it also makes me sluggish and not want to exercise. So, I'm going to limit it to weekends.

This is an odd post on R/R from someone who just joined and doesn't know me. Post Date: 2/24/08 8:09 pm On February 24, 2008 at 3:36 PM Pacific Time, chatterboxx1966 wrote: I to would be bitter if in almost 4 years I only lost 85 pounds Nancy.
