Hey SeaLady and other contributers,

didn't you just have a huge storm? I pet sat in Wasilla last Feb and chased the Northern lights 2x. :-)!! I may be back next Feb for the same lady. The highway out of Anchorage towards Seaward is unbelievably beautiful! From Canada originally, but settled in Pennsylvania with husband.

I have lost 15 lbs since April doing Atkins/basically my own program of lc with no counting. I keep stalling because I still struggle with eating too much and cheating. I am working on staying positive, lots of self forgiving, and wanting to not give in to mental cravings.

Thanks for writing, everyone!

:-) Joanne
