    I am still staying with my DD. I have to leave tomorrow sometime. I have to work Thursday:-( We went to the park for a little while today. My SIL said he desparetly needed to go fishing. We played on the playset a little while. Then to the grocery for a few things. Her complex had the water turned off all day for boiler repairs so we figured it was a good day to go out. I am going to turn leftovers into dinner. Not sure what I am making yet. I will dig in the refrigerator and come up with something.
    I did walk about a mile today. Not enough. I will have to get back into the routine of behaving myself when I get home.
    Good luck to everyone.

    Me and my husband got out today, and it was so warm and sunny. It was nice. I also got a couple of packages for swaps sent off. Good luck everyone, and have a nice week.

    sorry, not sure if I posted in the last 7 days. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days unexpectedly. All ended fine, so I'm ok now.

    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.

    Boy, FM, hope you can get back down. Sounds like you have the right attitude for losing. I'd love to get back to 125 or thereabouts, but that ole AMA chart shows for my age, height, etc that a good weight is about 141 - so that's what I'm striving for. Have a ways to go, but I keep plugging at it.
    We are in Talbott, TN between Knoxville and Morristown, just off I-81. Would love to meet for lunch one day. Keep us in mind when you're planning your next trip.

    Congrats FM. Wow, I thought we already had a winner for this month. I must be going crazy or else these months just fly by too quickly.
    I have lost the weight I put on during my vacation so I'm happy about that.
