Thanks, Kathleen, I sure hope I don't ever find it again. For almost 18 years I was up to 257, and just couldn't seem to lose any of it. Then two years ago I had my thyroid removed because it was growing, and the doctor said it wouldn't be too long before I wouldn't be able to swallow. Since the surgery I now only eat about half of what I did before - I just get full after eating about half. When I weighed for this week's weigh-in I cracked the 200 mark and hit 198. Plus I am now less than my husband (200) for the first time in years. I want to get back to about 125 or thereabouts. I saved a lot of my clothes from 175-180, so I am looking forward to getting back into them.

Where in east Tennessee are you? My husband is from eastern Tennessee (Crossville and Pleasant Hill). Maybe we can get together for lunch the next time we come through. We live in the very northwest corner of South Carolina, so we aren't that far.
