Yep, I run on the cool side, too. Bummer. At least we'll burn more calories kickin' all these rocks. :P

You deserve a fit body and a long & healthy life; chips will not get you either. Choose health & tell yourself you're worth it!

I am so moved by the image of you being able to ride the coasters with your daughter now . . . you've given the two of you such a wonderful gift. The memories you'll make are priceless. Be proud of yourself!!!

Thanks for the encouragement & support, everybody!

I was just checking out the BMR thread. I may be eating too few calories. I need to find my magic number (and WAND, while I'm at it)!

I haven't taken measurements, but am always keenly aware of how my clothes are fitting. Sadly, they're all feeling pretty snug. :(

There's no need to rest. I feel better when I don't skip a day. (Plus I know myself well enough to know what skipping one day is a slippery slope for me.)

I always weigh myself naked, first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, and after I've peed. :)
