I won, I won, I'm sooo excited! I worked really hard for those pounds by replacing chocolate with lots of fruit, bread and pasta with whole grains and portion control. I also got off my butt and did my best to get 10,000 steps in each day, some days being better than others. My hobbies are of coarse, making quilts, reading and being on the computer, all sedentary, so making an effort to walk more really helped a lot. What also helped in a big way was all of the wonderful sharing and encouraging stories of all of you, thank you, sincerely, you are a great group and I'm happy to be a part of it! Marie
