Hi Nancy, Jes, Sassy57 and detroitland:

Thanks for all your posts. Sometimes I wonder if I know how to do this forum. Just found all your welcomes!!! Feels great to talk to you all who are in the same position as myself.

Welcome aboard detroitland. I am just new to TOFF's myself. It is nice to have somewhere to go for us youngun's. lol Hope you are enjoying LCing. IT WORKS.

Nancy, glad to hear about your 1 lb loss. That is wonderful. I say every pound is one less you have to lose. Hope you are feeling better. Are you taking any vitamins. I just take a one a day multivitamin. Mind you I am not running any triathalons but I get thru my day. Grandkids are a lot of work, it would be nice if we could borrow some of their energy. They are wonderful little people!!!!
Unfortunately I don't have any yet and looks like I won't for awhile so I envy you!!!! Well hope you feel better soon, I wish I could be a devoted to the exercising as your are. I just started walking yesterday. Walked almost 3 miles. Darn near killed myself so today just going to try and do a few situps and stuff like that, some arm exercises and maybe once around the block. I am on day 2 of FAT FAST. Yesterday wasn't bad. I wasn't a bit hungry. Glad it is only for 4 days though. Have a good Wednesday.

Windy and Jes, thanks for saying hello!!! Nice to meet you ladies. As I said above it is day 2 for FF. Have either of you been on it before? This is my first time. Jun keater is on it also. I have been talking to her on another forum. She is weighing in today to see how she had done. I am using my scale at work so I won't weigh-in until I go back to work on Saturday. Hope to see a BIG difference. Mind you I won't be disappointed if it is only a couple of pounds. I have been at such a standstill lately. VERY DISCOURAGING. Mind you I am not giving up this time. I am here for the long haul. At 54 you don't get too many more kicks at the can in this weight game. I imagine sooner or later you say the heck with it but I am not prepared to do that as yet. I have been dieting since I was 15 so what is another year.

Well ladies, I must get on with my housework, yuk, the maid isn't coming in today lol! Hope you all have a great day and keep up the good work. Oh, one more thing, I was trying on a bunch of clothes hanging in my closet and there is some stuff I can now get into that doesn't sit on anything (hips) so I felt real good about that. I even bought a pair of shorts last 2 weeks ago and they wouldn't close or zip up and this morning I could get the clasp done up and the zipper up. Not able to wear them outside my bedroom but quite a difference in two weeks. So even if it isn't showing up on the scale it is in inches. I've got to remember that. Anyway I'm off. Hope to hear from you soon.

Love TOFF
