Went to a lecture at church last night. They served brownies, lemon bars and chips. Ugh....oh well, I might become a better person because of going to church, so that balances it out....LOL

Tweety I love this: "You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club." I need to post it somewhere!!

What is the "after cough mumble thing"?

I used to have horrible wheezing when I was smoking, when I would lay down at night. I would have to huff and cough and clear and cough some more before it would stop, so I could go to sleep.

I quit when I found out I have early airway disease (I assume like an asthma or emphysema). I'm anxious to find out if it has reversed itself like they said it might. I sure don't wheeze like that anymore! (but still SOB on exertion at times, prob. due to the wt.)

Gentle. I hope I don't have to get sick to loose the weight. Unfortunatley, I'm one of those odd people that can eat through illness. I've never been sick to where I can't eat. Even when vomiting I get hungry not to long after. Get well soon.

Zoe, I can't remember where I heard that phrase the other day, but I love it.

I think I'm going to go for the weight loss today. I have the healthy eating and exercise down. Time to try to tackle those last 10 pounds while I'm still young. Wish me luck.

(((((((((((((( Tweety!!! ))))))))))) Good luck!

Maybe we should start carrying around a bat as a visual reminder to ourselves to "go for it!" ha ha

But that probably wouldn't go over too good eh? ;)

Awesome "tote" Muffie!

I'm doing well and feeling good. I'm using a meal replacement for lunch the last three days and I actually survived. I used to think I wouldn't like to drink my lunch, but it's o.k. The shake I'm drinking is only 250 calories and seems to last from lunch until about 4:00pm at which time I get hungry. Yesterday I went to the gym and nearly went crazy from hunger. But I guess that's part of it. I have 15 servings and that's probably all I'm going to do. http://www.myvega.com/products/

I'm doing o.k. I'm not sure I want to post a tote because because I gained back what I lost so it's not really a true tote but a repeat. LOL
