Hi Everyone,
This morning was my digital photography course. I LOVE this course. The teacher is GREAT! Next week we will start modifying our photos using PhotoShop.
I am REALLY enjoying the work I am doing for LLS. I have gotten in touch with a bunch of my former students and it is great to see how they are doing.

Gee Whiz--I never left the living room!!
Hi Karen,
CONGRATULATIONS! 2.2 pounds in 1 week is FANTASTIC!

A few months ago, my dh got an email from our retirement club saying some military retirees were cheated on their SS. I kept after my dh to check into it and finally on this trip we went to a SS office and we were told he would get $45 more a month...well every little bit helps! Well yesterday they deposited $2222 into our checking account, so I guess they made it retro-active.
Hi Mary,
I am like you. I LOVE museums, but do NOT like to spend a lot of time. When my DD and my SIL and I go to one, my DD and I take about 1/5 the time that my SIL spends.
GREAT that you got your check. ENJOY!

For me the comparison of the two helps me remember a) it can be done, and b)I am not doing anything wrong when the scale barely moves, as long as I am still on program.
Hi Bunti,
For me, success = eating less, exercising more, staying away from white carbs. Although I generally weigh myself every day, I do NOT measure my success by weight loss. I can control and be responsible for my behavior – I can NOT control my scale.

Hi LAL,
Cereal isn’t a horrible nighttime snack. I try to make it a VERY high-fiber cereal & use a small bowl & have it with skim milk and Splenda. My favorite snack is SF pudding w SF Cool Whip or low-carb yogurt w SF peanutbutter & Splenda.

I’ve lost weight much faster in the past, but never kept it off for long. I think this time I’m eating in a way that I can live with the rest of my life. So, I think slower really is better. [/COLOR]
Hi Nancy,
I am happy to hear that Milky is doing good. Cats are interesting. When they get sick, they just lie down and stay quiet. I have always thought that people could take a lesson from them.
I agree totally – this is a lifelong process. After we lose the weight, we need to do the same things to maintain that we did to lose. I got down to 160 (from 185) in the Fall of 2007. Since then, I stayed between 160 and 150. Recently, I am moving downward – heading to 145.
I began dieting about 40 years ago. This is the first time I have ever managed to maintain a weight loss for more than a few months.

Hi Bobbi,
Not sure I will lose this week. I skipped 4 days at the gym bc of the weather and did not reduce my calories accordingly. I am hoping I at least do not gain.
