Good morning. Donna, a friend has what sounds like a similar eye condition ( macular puckering) for which she gets injections every 4 to 6 weeks. Good point about doing our best to avoid diabetes so I def need to get a handle on my weight issues; not a huge gain but am at top end of range and have been holding there for…

Sept 3rd: 176.8 <-- blaming this on all those Texan BBQ's, wine and fabulous food! Awesome to meet everyone in person; Chris and I first connected on E-diets, then we moved over to Spark People where I met the other 6. However my cousin's cancer has really blown up and he was moved into Hospice last week. I'll be repacking…

Dawn, you asked if I was going on a trip? YES!!! Flying down to Dripping Springs, Tx, where I'll finally meet 7 other ladies from a private MFP group. A few of us initially met on e-diets ( early 2000's), then we moved over to Spark People, and when that forum eliminated non-Amercan members, we re-formed over here on MFP.…
