I am such a techno idiot..where do I leave a comment??? Janice 346/310/152/150

Hey there Ronda! I made the prediction a few months back that the board would die a slow horrible death after we all hit one year out. It's just the way of the boards. But, we do need to keep in touch... it's a great way to stay accountable... and supported. I'm glad you are okay, and you're not alone - I've not lost anything for months and months and months.

As you can see from the minimal postings that you aren't the only one that has been MIA. Glad you got everything straightened out with your anemia. You are right that we have to always pay attention to our nutrition and exercise. I was at a stand still for so long then my doc said she didn't think I was eating enough. Imagine that! So I sent my fitday logs to the dietician for 2 weeks and she gave me suggestions. I lost 5 lbs. in a month. Which is huge for me since I had only lost 6 lbs the previous 6 months. However, over this weekend I am not too sure how things will end up. I was away and at 2 picnics. I know I grazed too much. I did an 8 min. pilates routine and walked about a mile but that is alot less than usual. So tomorrow it's back to work and back to my regular exercise routine. I have an appt. with the dietician tomorrow afternoon for a follow up. Hopefully the scale will be kind. I guarantee I will be eating light tomorrow! Glad to see some of the "regulars" back. We need to keep in touch to help keep each other in line! Dawn

Lara, Congrats on getting back down to 190. Change is always difficult. I can't imagine moving in with someone. That would be majorly stressful. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the plastics for you. Dianne
