Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Beth, Your story reminds me of the thread we had a couple of weeks ago about " fun in life " . Thanks to your change in lifestyle you got to enjoy things you wouldn't have been able to otherwise. How great is that?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Good for you Beth! I love that you have that extra funny story and can be there for your son, rather than having to pike out because you're too unfit to help. I love the fact that we can turn ourselves around like that. I want to be able to keep up with my kids as they grow up, I think that's probably the best gift I could give them. RRRROAR!
