I'm sorry I don't come here very often anymore. I've gotten a job working from home and it literally takes me all week of working, often weekends, too, to get enough to manage. But I can do something now and that helps.
Anyway, I wrote here before about my weight and my plans to change my health. I've done well so far. Since the beginning on November 4, I've lost nearly 75 pounds. I now wear a size 8 (relatively loose) and am near my original goal of simply not being "overweight". My final goal is to weigh in at about 120 pounds and I think I'll be there by my birthday in October. I went to our local park the other day because there's a big celebration going on and I was in a friend's picture and couldn't believe it was me! My hips aren't sticking out with huge thighs attached, my stomach wasn't obscene looking, and I only recognized myself by my hair. For the first time in my life I wasn't ready to call her and bawl her out for posting my picture without permission. Since I want to lose another 30 pounds, I believe I will actually fit into size 3 and I've bought some jeans to work toward. Tonight I was able to pull them nearly all the way up -- 7 months ago I wouldn't have been able to get them past my knees.
Thank you to all my friends who are here and I will hopefully be back soon now that I'm logged on on my new "work" computer.

My profile pretty much tells about me and if anyone is interested, they can look there. But I've wanted to have a blog/journal for a while, but I just haven't gotten to it yet. This isn't going to be anything fancy, at least that's not my intent, but
