your surgery. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Re: Digest Number 387

Just want to make sure I get to wish everyone here a Happy, healthy,

peaceful, safe and OP Losing New Year.

Congrats to all of the great losses that I've read. To those who have made

their goals- I would do the happy dance, but knee wont allow me yet. LOL

Welcome back to those who have returned from your ädventures " . Hope all

that

have not been feeling well or troubled by a " problem " are now feeling 150%.

To those like me, who have had a hard time for a bit, tomorrow is the

beginning of a new year, and I am going to do my best to get back in there

as

much as I can. I had lost almost 38 lbs before I went for my knee surgery

and since then havent been able to stay OP the way I would have liked, and

of

course, have not been able to do any exercising. The stitches come out on

Wed and hopefully, I will be able to get moving soon. Didn't expect this

so

wasn't able to make my christmas goal as had to be as little weight bearing

as I could since beginning of October :-(

Also, Kim- I am a recovering smoker- Husband and I stopped 2 years and 1

month ago. Wasn't easy but it can be done. You already know a lot of the

benefits of quitting so I wont repeat the obvious here, but I do have to

tell

you, that there are basically only two things that keep me from going back-

1) I have made myself put the money we used to spend every month into a

separate bank account, and you just cant imagine how that adds up- 2) Its

way too expensive now for both of us to go back. Of course, there are all

the health reasons also- that and my other 2 reasons makes it easier not to

go back when the temptation hits, which still happens at times, but it does

pass.

Oh well, enough of my long story- sorry only wanted to send wishes to all

for

the new year. I keep on hoping to be able to sit here longer and answer

each

one of you, but still too uncomfortable.

My best to each and every one of you.

Alice-NY
