THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. ANGELICANGELS

    angelicangels,

    No cats?? My workout partner, Budhi (the kitty pictured here), and I want to welcome you to MFP. He has a "pet stroller" that is his only access to the outside world other than windowsills. He loves it and I load it up with extra weight in the storage area so I have to work harder to make that m.p.h. on my walks. Meanwhile, he gets to ride in style......That's more like me being his servant.....hey...wait a minute......Now I know why you don't have a cat. I live to serve my four-pawed children!

    I've lost 12 pounds since August 22. I need to lose 25 more. I just joined a really nice gym yesterday. I can't wait to get my first training session on Monday.
    We all are here for you, angelicangels.
