Sorry for my sudden disappearance a while back (okay, months back). I accepted a deployment to Afghanistan and got back last week. I'm still readjusting to a "normal" life...and being able to COOK again!
The good news is that being on a base where you don't like the food and where you get at least one terrible stomach bug a month means you can lose 30 pounds without really trying My goal now is to maintain, and to remember the lessons I learned about being active, eating only til I'm not hungry, and most of all...being grateful for what I have.
I missed y'all, and I'm sorry I couldn't say more before I left!
Diana!!! {{{{hugs}}}} I'm so happy to see that you haven't fallen off the planet! I was wondering if you moved to CO and all heck broke loose. Like everyone else, I'm glad to see you're back safe & sound.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
Diana, it is SO great to see you here again! I will ditto the "glad you're home safe and sound" sentiment. A coworker of mine who spoke Farsi was "enlisted" for an assignment in Afghanistan a few years back. She said she had to live the whole time in a bunker type outpost cuz things were so tense at the time they weren't allowed to go out and about on their own.
I'm sure it was an adventure, but I would also imagine you are very glad to be home!!
So happy to have you back among us again.

So happy to have you back. I figured you weren't around because you were wrapped up in your move. Probably good that I didn't know the real reason -- I would have been worried this whole time!
YAY!! I saw your name and was hoping it was a new thread not an old bumped thread. SO glad to hear from you. I think about you often. I posted a few months ago in a thread about summer clothes and swimming suits about wishing you were still around because you always had great ideas (I remember you posting links to outfits or clothing pieces/accessories you bought or were going to buy).
Welcome back to the States. Sorry to hear about the ongoing stomach flu thing but wow-30lbs! How do I get signed up? Just kidding, of course-not a fun way to lose weight.
Anyway-welcome back and hope to see you here a lot!

I have no specific goal(s) right now. I am trying to find the spiritual side of myself that I lost somewhere along the way.
My goal now is to maintain, and to remember the lessons I learned about being active, eating only til I'm not hungry, and most of all...being grateful for what I have.
Like everyone else, I'm glad to see you're back safe & sound.
