Hi ladies,

Thanks so much for the welcome! :) I'm glad I found you. Things here are OK. Can't say that I've been eating well, but I'll get there. Exercise has been a bit on hold because I hurt my foot a few days ago and it hurts to put pressure on it. Normally, I would have just let that completely throw me off into a binge, but I'm managing not to so far.

poppyseeds--Wow, thanks so much for that thoughtful reply. I can so relate to your story and to all that dieting and deprivation (I hate not eating with my family). Congrats on your success. You're doing so great and you're such an inspiration. You've almost hit that 20lb mark. You've really set yourself up with a solid plan, so I know you'll continue to do great. I'll read up on your blog when I have a few minutes.

I'll write more later. DD woke up from her nap already. Ugh.

hey all, i'm normally around and lurking way before now but spent all lastnight up with an earache and finally got in to see the doctor to find out i have bronchitis and a ear canal infection...not a good combo. anyways thats how my days going.

Ouch... that must hurt when you cough! Feel better soon. I'm nursing something too... it's like a cold but not quite. Sore throat, runny nose and heavy head but I'm not at death's door... yet.

Maybe the healthier lifestyle helps so I don't end up in the hospital from a cold and flu like I did last year... I wonder.

Hi All!
I just stopped by to say a quick hello. I had a pretty good day. I am battling the urge to eat a soft pretzel every day at work and today I did not eat one. I did eat a bag of chips, but better than the pretzel and cheese.

I am off to book club tonight. We are meeting at a restaurant and I am pretty excited because they have a great tomato basil no fat dressing for some of their yummy salads.

I hope every one has a good night. alisa

me4life - Sorry you are sick.

valerie - Ditto.

rileyozzy - Hmm I thought soft pretzels weren't too bad. Have you looked up the calories without the cheese?

Hi ladies,

Just another flyby! My life will settle down as of tomorrow so I can get back into a routine! I cannot believe how stressful/busy this week has been.

:wave: Welcome to the newbies!! Very glad to have you here!
