Re: Laurie Emerging from Lurk-dom!

Laurie,

I'm sorry this reply is so late. Had the flu and then my daughter and

boyfriend were here. Things are getting back to normal now. :-) You

have definitely come to the right place for support and that occasional

kick in the butt. :-) It is my pleasure to pass on info I get. I'm glad

it helps and hope to hear more from you.

I know ow overwhelming it can feel to have a lot to lose. When I

started I was 284 and I am only 5'3 " . I got down to 195 but have gained

some back the last year and am 222 now. :-( But what's done is done.

Time to move on and my plan is to make this my year to lose the rest. I

will be 40 March 2005 and my goal is to be in the 160s by then. We can

do this!!!!
