I wanted to write and say thank you to all who sent me a fat quarter. I received 23 and I tell you it was like Christmas all over again. Each one was beautiful.

I am still watching what I eat. I haven't weighed myself this week, but come Sunday, I'll give it a check and see how I have been doing this week. I am doing my Leslie Sansone one mile walks twice a day, and then I walk Bess every day, so I have been putting in about five miles a day walking, that is in and out!

I have so much more energy now. What surprised the heck out of me was when my husband and I went for an overnight at our local hotel and casino - Treasure Island! I wore a pair of navy blue slacks and a light teal long sleeved knit shirt with a low rounded neckline. It fit perfectly. When I went to iron the slacks yesterday, I noticed they were a size 14. On January 1, I was wearing a size 18. It works, Girls, a rooting section behind you, good intentions in front of you. Keep up with it. It works.

So, again, thank you all so very much. I really appreciated it. I think my husband got a little jealous because he gave me some money and said "Go get yourself some material (I didn't have the heart to tell him, you buy material for a dress, you buy fabric for a quilt!!!!). I did!

Good luck to all of you. I truly mean it and I wish you all the success in the world and don't give up, don't get down.

I am continuing on my quest to get down to 130 lbs. I don't think I will make it, but it sure is a goal.

Thanks, all of you. Edie
