Hey girl! So nice to hear from you. I have been doing ok. Gained a couple of pounds back. Been really stressed out caring for my mother and feel into some really BAD eating habits but I am back now. Had to start all over again and get back on track and it really sucks!!! Was only 10 pounds from my personal goal and now its 18 but the point is Im back and now more determined than ever to get this darn weight off. Hope everything is going good for you. Cant wait to see some recent photos. I know you are doing well. Gotta run for now. Hope to hear from you soon!!!

Hey, how do I get the weight ticker added to my profile?

Only bad thing about losing weight, is that your pants get to big and tend to fall down, a lot.

i feel so like normal today that i'm nervous the weight loss is going to stop #wls

It takes alot to finally decide that you are completely misable with your weight and the way you look. And it finally hits you like a ton of bricks. Its time to do something about it. My mind is set and Im ready!

As soon as I start exercising...i gain 4 pounds...what's that about???
