everose, Congratulations on meeting one of your goals. I'm sorry your daughter doesn't share your joy. That's surprising as she obviously is not overweight. Don't compare your weight loss to your husband's. His body doesn't have hormones preparing to save a baby's life if you don't eat during pregnancy - a carrryover from caveman days when food wasn't always regularly available. The aggravating thing about that is that it doesn't stop with menopause and I don't think it stops with uterus removal. I don't know about a complete hysterectomy as many of the hormones are made in the ovaries. I've never had either, so I don't need to know.
Pam, someone gave me a chocolate bunny for my birthday, but I will pass it on to a young friend. What you are saying is that I can't buy the bags of little pecan clusters. Okay. I have only having my 4 dark Dove chocolates a day since I told Nancia I would stop eating more than that. I am so surprised, but it's a pleasant surprise. So I can have ice cream today - guess what I don't want any today. I am losing the extra pounds this week and I want to keep it up. I did earn my gold star this week. One temptation - a 86 degree day and a craving for a caramel frappe, but I was 'good' and resisted. Thank you for doing this. Whether we earn our star each week or not, it does raise our awareness.
Jean, it's nice when our work is appreciated. How gratifying that you chose the 'right' colors and print. I have a daughter who would be late for a similar reason. She IS blonde and that's all I'm going to say. Don't tell her I said that - she hates blonde jokes.
nancia, I'm sure there's a book on that quilt. Are you planning on winning April's FQs? Go for it, girl.
