Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi , Oh yeah, I should probably add that to my signature- my WW goal is 121 so I'm 30 lbs. away. I think ideally I'd like to see myself get lower than that arounc 110-115, but that's what got me into trouble in the first place! Right now I'd be more than thrilled to reach my WW goal! Congratulations on your loss so far- it's incredible! When I re-joined I also bought a couple of the cookbooks and have been having a lot of fun making some of the delicious recipes.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 " Are you the from the CADIS list? " LOL, yes, I am! Even the internet is no longer a small world. <g> I'm finding it very hard to get myself back into the swing of counting points. I started a long term subbing position yesterday and the stress got to me. I also won't be able to go back to the meeting I started at because I'll be in school. I'll figure out something, I just need to hit a meeting before the end of the month. Good to " see " you again, ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
