    Lenora,

    The Poem is just my rewrite of the lyrics to American Pie. It came to me as I was thinking about how long it had been since I started all this... and it just rolled out.

    Love you, back.

    Hugs!

    Don't minimize what you accomplished. What you did was simply amazing.

    Re - I am so happy to have been told about your blog. On the other thread we were/are on ... I know I said some things about a post made by one. Sent her a PM and without my permission - she posted it for all 2 C. If, at any time, I have/had said something that was taken as not intended - I tried to apologize. It hurt. Only a few would post anything about what I attempted to contribute. But, you, Becca, Carol, and Michelle never made me feel anything; but 'as a friend'. Lots going on in life and I will 'read'' and, I have not left. I'm here - you have been such an encouraging force with your openinga - for example - "Foxxy Felines". I agree with 2011rocket3t... don't ever minimize what you have accomplished. Carol and went to the same 'small town HS' ... she was 'in my older sister's grade'.

    Love you, Lenora - GRITSandSLUTS

    Aw, Thanks, Guys! I had a minor melt down over the holidays... Got a few pounds to work back off - but, I am on it!

    Hoping to have it off by my Birthday at the end of this month.

    A New Year... A New Chance to get some more of this pudge under control.

    Hugs!

    I'll go ahead and wish you an 'early' Happy Birthday! I will be taking a short period of time 'off' social networking and only checking it once a month.

    Thanks, All.

    I am happy to report that the scale is reflecting the same "half" status, today - and I am working with a personal trainer, these days, to strengthen my body. MFP works!

    Hey friend. Just read your blog on exercise, you are so right. Find what works for you and have faith in yourself. I’ve been floundering for a couple of months and need to get back to what works. Take care of you.

    Struggle to get to my official WW GW 184. Bounced up and down in Jan and Feb but getting down to getting last bit off. Need to lose 1.4# :wink:
