My compulsive eating has become less of a problem. Love and appreciation for your sharing and friendships.

Good morning, JOAN and thank you for noticing and asking. That may be a little misleading about the 3-pound loss. At one time I was up to 290 and then I started to lose some weight. When I started with SPARKPEOPLE I was between 260 and 270. At the beginning of December I was down to 203. Then through the course of December and beginning of January I got up to 209. I believe it was a lot of fluid retention. Because this morning it was 204.8. I log my weight each week and it went up and then it went down. According to my dietician my goal weight is 205 and I am usually within a few pounds of that but this is not easy. I exercise every day and I feel pretty darn good too.

Good morning, JOAN, and may you also enjoy a happy and healthy New Year. If only the economy of our nation would get turned around this next year - that would make it real special and take a lot of stress out of day to day activities. Keep up your good work and progress.

Hi Joan, Thanks so much for remembering me. Of course xmas is just the same here. We are having 7 family to stay over the holiday so will be lots of fun.It's really getting hot here now so we will be doing lots of BBQs and keeping cool1 I've been hopeless on my spark stuff recently as I am waiting on a hip replacement so exercise is an issue and also having a bladder problem too so not just the best . Have had lots of tests but no resolution so far seeing doctor again tomorrow. I hope I can do better next year!
Very best wishes to you for Xmas...will catch up again soon,
Love from Bernadette
