Thanks so much Lindsey,

I got my period this morning. I think I am just exhausted from lack

of sleep but I am still working my butt off at the gym ;-)

Have read a few of the posts with great interest, especially the

ones about excess tummy skin.

Am gonna try real hard to participate more because I know I have

lots of experience and share, and I could gain lots too.

Hope to see more of you!
