Grateful - I had my surgery in August and I am so grateful!. Not only did I NOT gain for the first Christmas ever, but I made it to Onederland on Christmas day!

Ooops - Now I know why they tell us not to drink alcohol (besides the obvious reasons). Anniversary last night and I had a "nice size" glass of wine with my husband. Wow! Hit me so hard...

Opti day 8 - Well I've made it this far after a very rocky start! I really thought I could not do it! The first 4 days were really rough. I had no energy, headaches and general overall malai...

Day 3 on Opti - I'm STARVING!!!!! Seriously, I'm totally hungry. I feel light headed and weak. I'm not used to a lot of sweet so I think all this artificial sweetener is making me more hungry t...
