Hello to Everyone,

Your right Jean, I've been lurking. I'm having a rough time lately. I'm on a new medication and one of it's side effects is wieght gain!!! And it seemed no matter how good I'm staying on induction, I'm not moving. So I too am going to stay away from the scales. Because when I went UP after being really really good, it just shot me down. And I fell right off the wagon and ate BAD:( ! So I've picked myself up once again and got going AGAIN. I have a cruise in just 46 days, and I'd just like my clothes to fit comfortably. I'm not buying anything new, I have enough from my last cruise back in January! And I have to pack lighter now:eek: ! So I'm here, just not feeling so chatty. Maine's weather is very nice right now, and I'm enjoying being outside while I still can! Take care all.

Donna (the other Donna :) )

Good Morning Everyone

Dearest Jean, my heartfelt sympathies and love go out to you and your loved ones. I too lost my dear sister-in-law to breast cancer and I am grateful that I got to be there her last days also. Yes, all of you, get your mammograms! I don't want to walk for any more people I care for. Yes, Jean a new sign on name for CC. They really messed up my other email sign on. So this Grammie Baa is quite appropriate fo me. Baa is what my grandsons all call me. We can't figure out why, but that's ok, it's special to me.

Have been doing absolutely great on induction UNTIL yesterday. I live in Maine and we have had a wet, cool summer. Until these last two weeks. It was a glorious day at the beach for our family. And we ended it unfortunately for me at a clam shack for fries and clam strips and ice cream. It was wonderful!! :D Were there other options, probably, but I did'nt want them, not last night.:o But I am up this Am with my two eggs and cuppa tea also, back on track. :)

Leaving for a cruise on October 29th for a TA on the Connie. Got get "some" of this off!! And work on a life style change FOR GOOD! Exercise is still going by the wayside, but I'm shaking and moving outside with my grandkids.

Be Well and Happy All!!

Hello Everyone,

It has been a long time since I've posted, a very L-O-N-G time. But I am back and on induction. It's been a week and 5 lbs lost! So I'm going to try and get myself back where I belong, fit and healthy. I lost really well the last time I was on and then after the cruise, well, life threw me a bunch of curves (excuse the pun!). Not an excuse, just what happened. I'm going to try to keep it on track!!

It's so good to see so many of you still here! Tom, Jean, Pink, Lisa, I have missed all of you. And all the new ones.

It has been a cool and wet summer here in Maine. Hardly a summer at all. *sigh*:( But were having a few nice days right now. But I smell fall in the air.

Don't know how much exercising I can do with that challange, but I am going to try and walk on a treadmill at my work 5 days a week. It may only be 20 mins or more, but consistency is the key, right? Baby steps once again. But Tom is right I deserve to be healthy. I need to take care of me.

So, here I am and I hope I can help any of you also, and I'm so glad you are here with me.

Donna
