Hi everybody. I haven't been here in AGES. Can't wait to get reacquainted with the "old timers" and meet new folks!!

WELCOME BACK! I think someone was asking about you in the last week or two. I hope all is well, and it's good to see you

Hi Misti so glad to see you back! I had been wondering where you were! I don't live in the Seattle area anymore, I'm in San Diego now.

back Misti!
I remember you !

Hi Sue! I just saw an old post of yours on an old thread YESTERDAY, and wondered how you were!! Welcome back!!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
I'm so glad to see you back! So many times you've been in my thoughts. I can't wait to get caught up on what's been going on with you.
Welcome Back!!!

Wow, how kind of all of you to give me such a warm welcome back! Thanks!

Hmmmm well I guess kind of bad news and good news. I had some major health problems this summer... severe pain, could hardly walk, using walker and two canes, etc. But I ended up getting lazy and gaining all my weight back plus a few. HOWEVER, here is the good news. Since the end of July I have lost 64 pounds so am about at the place I was when I left here... maybe 4 or 5 pounds over. So here we go again.

I finally got ambitious and realized I could do the pool (plus I had steroid shots in my hip which helped) and have worked out by the hour in it. I am also seeing a medical nutritionist who has been a super help.

Sooooooo... I blew it but got back on track so here we go!!

Sue, I think many of us can understand how easy it is to get derailed in these efforts, but I am SO PLEASED to see you back on track again!!!

Thanks! It also did not help that I moved twice in five months and had to paint a lot of the first apartment I moved out of! I had just moved and four months later got an opportunity to get into a condo, so jumped on it!

This time too I have done better than ever -- joined PCC natural market and stopped eating most processed foods. Also completely stopped eating between meals with an occasional exception if there is a reason (such as tiny samples at PCC deli so I can determine what I want).

It is fun to be back and to see so many of you still here chugging along. Good job! Heather, you look absolutely stunning! WOW

Misti - Welcome back! I'm so glad you're here and on track again!

Misti, so great to 'see' you again, sorry about your health problems.xxxxxx
So pleased you are getting better and able to stay healthy. WTG on 'getting back' on the weight-loss waggon, you are doing FAB!!!!
