You look great. I've never been on a cruise, but I don't know anyone who has taken a cruise and not gained weight. I guess they are floating buffets.

Good luck in 2005!!!!

Thank you all for such positive feedback. I feel good about publicly recommiting. And I do appreciate all your feedback!

BTW - While I have not posted in quite a while, I haven't really "left". I do read the boards quite regularly. I guess I just wasn't motivated to do a lot of posting.

It's been nice to see so many new people joining. There seemed to be a lot of us from August 2003 - many of whom are still around and posting. But I've enjoyed reading all the posts from those of you who joined since then.

Kelly - Thanks for your comments. I will stay around and will post more often.

Vera - yes, it was me who told the story about visiting my friends in NY. And yes, they now have a very different reaction and are very positive and supportive.

What's funny is that I still get some people seeing me for the 1st time and still responding that they love my new hairstyle! At this point, I just think it's a riot, thank them nicely and laugh to myself.

Day 2 of my new resolve - and I'm still feeling good!

Thanks again for all your support.

Mary
