I have been "lurking" and enjoy all your comments and encouragements. I'm not in the challenge, but I am trying to lose weight. I have started an exercise program at the gym and am going to join the Zumba group. I'm not very coordinated but they said that I would be able to do it! I found that sugar free Tropical popsicles satisfy my craving for something sweet. They do have 15 calories, but are very refreshing. I don't like plain water, but I'm trying to drink more to stay hydrated in this terrible heat. I am volunteering at the Senior Center in my hometown and have started learning to piece and hope to learn to hand quilt soon. I love to sew. Good luck to everyone with your weight loss journey.
