yes, this is the prodigal child returning once again! How is everyone? I've had my 2nd child since I was here last (while I was pregnant with him). He is almost 17 months old! I'm still on the computer constantly during naptimes, but mostly on Facebook and couponing sites. I've become an Extreme Couponer! Does Kathleen have a page on fb yet or is everyone still mainly here?
I have officially begun my weight loss journey again. This time with help. I tried to do it on my own for years with limited success. I finally came to the realization that I MUST have support and guidance to keep me focused. I went ahead and joined Weight Watchers. I've avoided that for years, but I know it is what is right for me at this time. I will probably need a lifetime of support and have to become a lifetime member if I can ever reach the health goal of losing over 100 lbs. I've seen sooooo many of my friends over the years join programs and gyms, loose LOTS of weight, only to gain it all back once they stop. I can never stop. I must change my life and get out of this fantasy land I've been living in and take responsibility for the food that goes in my mouth. Anyway, I've been a member for 5 weeks and I've lost my first 10 pounds! I haven't incorporated any movement, walking, etc. yet, but that will come starting in small bits today. I am committing to parking next to the farthest buggy stop in the parking lots from now on. (really feel I need to stay next to one of those for my children so I'm never more than a few steps away from them - safety) And I hope to start a walk away the pounds routine in the next week. I've got a DVD and I need to go buy some shoes and I'm set! Don't know how often I'll be here, but I do remember you all very fondly and wanted to come say hello and wish you all continued success and love!

Hey!! Great to hear from you again ! Congrats on your weight loss. I have started couponing myself and just go on FB recently as a way of keeping in touch with family. I used my whole name, Judy Campbell Nebergall so that I can also do family tree research there also.
I am still losing but very very slowly. At least I have lost enough for my doctor to notice and ask me if my weight loss was on purpose . With cancer in my past, that is an important question.
