Some of you are wondering where I have been. Well my family has been going through a hard financial situation and have not been able to keep the phone lines on for the internet. Well, really we have lost everything except for electricity and water. As for my diet it has totally gone downhill since I have not been able to share my victories and downfalls with you guys. You all are the ones that helped me stay on my diet and now that my internet is gone it has been difficult dieting and staying inspired. Before the holidays of 2006 I was 309 now I am 321. After eating whatever on the holiday I kept eating whatever everyday.

I do have good news though. Yesterday I decided to diet again and take control. I am currently detoxing by drinking only water. This may sound a little strange but over night I lost 4 pounds. LOL. I guess because of water.

Anyways, I just wanted to give you all an update on what's going on. I should be back here in a few weeks and I will give you another update.

I wish I could come here to get inspiration but I guess i'm on my own with this one. I can do it though. I'm a woman and women are built with strength!

Hey! Glad to see you posting again.

I hope when you say you're "drinking only water" that that doesn't mean you aren't eating anything!

So sorry to hear about your struggles--wow, trying to lose weight during such a trying time--so hard! I hope you can continue to check in with us here when you get internet back.

Hang in there!

Glad to see you back!

But remember----- woman can not live by water alone..........

Glad you're back, Christina! Visit/post when you can. Public libraries usually have free internet access. And while you're there, you could check out the 3FC book! My library allows us to put books "on reserve" so when someone checks it back in they notify me.

Good Luck with everything!! So sorry your family is having a hard time
