Wanted to check in quick to let you know that I made it safely to Canada, and am having a great time. The chaparone even gave us some time alone. His mom is even taller than I am by several inches. They had their Thanksgiving on Monday, and I made a low fat key lime pie, and he ate 4 pieces. I write again if I get a chance.

Ammi -- You are right....I shouldn't have said "only 15 pound" because that is a big accomplishment for me.....I just need about 10 more "15 pound losses"

WELCOME MANDA!!!!!! You came to the right group....we all are here to support you. I know what you mean about being a rold model for your kids. I have a son that will be 6 in December and I don't want him to pick up on my old eating habits. Great job for you!! What are you doing to lose weight? Are you on any kind of plan or just watching what you eat and exercising?

Sue Marie -- Congrats!!!!!!!

I don't know about any of you all but I haven't bought any Halloween candy whatsoever...usually I would have already bought a few bags. I saw a bunch of candy today when I was at Target..... Well I did 20 minutes on my elliptical trainer and did an upper body workout. Shortly we will go on our 1 1/2 mile walk. I saw on another thread that "Winning by Losing: by Jillian Michaels is suppose to be a great book with lots of good information. She is the personal trainer off of The Biggest Loser....Have any of you all heard anything about her book?

Bye for now,
Andrea
