      Thanks, That's very kind of you to say...

      But I'm 5 foot 2 and weigh in at 164 right now. I was up to 177. I was at 143 for the wedding. I admit I carry it pretty well. But at my height, with high blood pressure, it would be better if I could get down to about 118 or at least below 125. It would be so much better for me..

      I've always fought my weight. I've never given up the war but I've lost a few battles.. . At any rate I'm tired of always battling it. I think this is a way of life I can embrace. I love to cook and so does my husband. We entertain often... he's completely on board.. so that makes it easier.

      We've been so busy that we weren't able to take our honeymoon. So we're hoping to take it this fall. We've decided to go to New Zealand... I want to black water raft and scuba dive the reefs.. so I need to be in better shape to do those things.

        I'm a shorty with small bones, too! This WOE has worked well for me, and I'm sure it will for you, too.

        Congratulations and happy honeymooning!

                  Thanks..

                  I see by your pictures that you are making fabulous progress... I also see a crib behind you. Have you recently had a child..? That was the hardest time for me. You see pictures in movies of women who look great after giving birth. I looked and felt like a mess. I had long hair that was always in the way.... I was very sick during my pregnancy. So I cut it off. WHAT a mistake. It was the worst haircut of my life. I looked like a swollen q-tip! I was up to 198 pounds from my pre-baby weight of 118. That's 80 pounds..I was miserable and embarrassed... by my son's first birthday I was down to 130. But it was so hard. I have so much respect for people who can do what you are doing. I guess I'm doing it too... but since I have less to loose it doesn't seem as insurmountable...or as impressive...
