Hey yawl:
I have lurked here for a while but not posted much. I am in my 5th week of maintenance so decided it (lifetime) is getting close, so I decided to jump in. Maintenance has been going well for me. I had a slight gain the first week but have since dropped it and more. I am now about 4# under my personal goal. I am still "playing" with my food (my mom always told me not to do that. slap! slap!) trying to see what works. I am just going to set small goals all along the way to see what happens. Well here is my bio:
HANDLE/NAME: Georgia Peach
AGE/BIRTHDAY: 48 years young 6/26/51
MARITAL STATUS: married to my best friend and have been for 28 years
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS NAME:Virgil
CHILDREN/AGES: 2 Paul -25 years old and
Kelli - 20 years old
FAVORITE TV SHOWS: ER ( don't ya just love it)
FAVORITE COLOR: bright yellow
FAVORITE MUSIC: contempory christian
HOBBIES/INTERESTS:road trips with my girl friends - reading - working?
PETS: a royal highness cat named Cashmere and a Lab named Samatha and 4 tropical fish
FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE: walking
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM/OR METHOD: Weight Watchers 123
STARTING WEIGHT: 168.8
PRESENT WEIGHT: 127
GOAL WEIGHT: I am below goal at 131 - for how long?? Who knows?
HEIGHT: 5'2"
EYE COLOR: brown or hazel - according to what I'm wearing
HAIR COLOR: Only my hairdresser knows for sure - my mirror says auburn right now
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I am really hard headed. When I make up my mind to do something I try real hard to stick to it. As I get older I am concerned for my health - my mom died of a heard condition.
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS:
Variety of foods - I really seem to get in a rut and get bored with my food choices.
OCCUPATION: banking - computer operations and software training
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION: Northeast Georgia
E-MAIL ADDRESS: [email protected]
How quick can it be. May be a little different from the rest but I just copied it from another thread. Hope to get to know more of you better soon.
Patsy

Felicia,
I'm not sure what's going wrong. Have you tried using the 'Ctrl C' (hold both keys down simultaneously to copy the blank bio) and then 'Ctrl V' (again hold both keys down simultaneously to paste) when you're in the 'Reply' screen? That's how I do it, and it always works for me.
