Hello, I posted a few wks ago that I lost my laptop. I only get online when I'm at work and have a spare moment. Someone suggested I use the pc's at the library (well I don't live up in Paris) I'm not going to waste gas driving into town everyday. I'm maintaining & keeping up with a written record. But thanks for those who…

:laugh: I think it's A-OK as long as it's not too often. I also don't go crazy, I do it in moderation. Whatever the treat is, it has too be small. That's my own rule for me.....it's working; I don't feel as if I'm deprived of things that way :smile: Bren:drinker:

For most of us grief is a hard thing to deal with, especially if you are very close to someone. I say don't worry about all of the stress of the diet for a few days. That will make your mind as heavy as your heart. Then after after a few days, try to get your life back on track. I'll just bet your uncle loved you and…

Thanks Kristen I feel as if I know some of these folks better now. I know we are all trying to remove weight & love the support of others in the same situation.

Do we ever!!! Our children are adults on their own. We now have a large (some type of Collie) Buddy was dropped off on our road last year & left to fend for himself. :mad: I'm glad he found his way down to our house.
