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.

Take care,

Kim

" 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, !
