LET'S FINISH STRONG-
THERE ARE 61 DAYS LEFT IN 2009!
Well, today is almost over, but when it started there were 61 days left in the year! That is counting each day, so when Dec 31 comes, there will be one day left, not none! I flew from Seattle to NY today, and arrived to spend the late afternoon/evening with another wonderful grandchild and my daughter and her husband. Tomorrow I have lots more relatives arriving! It is great fun.
Now, about our anniversary! Isn't it wonderful! Letha, I love the picture that you posted, and the review of how wonderful this program and our group have been for you - for all of us. Thank you, Letha, for being the heart (and brains!) of our group. You inspire us not so much because of the amount of weight that you have lost, but because of your great knowledge of the program, and your willingness to quickly answer questions, find quotes, and give wonderful support.
I also want to mention what this group and this program have meant to me. I feel wonderful, and am so happy to feel so healthy all of the time. A year ago, I had aching knees, borderline hypertension, and was often overeating. I now have lost 50 pounds (it may be 52 in 52 weeks, but I'm not sure because I'm away from my scale). I travel about half of the time, so my compliance with MWL comes and goes a bit, but I'm still happy to have done as well as I have done while often away from home.
I appreciate everyone on this board. I love how positive we have all been with each other, and how supportive we all are. I also appreciate the fact that we have kept this going. I remember almost a year ago, when I thought that soon Letha and I would be the only ones here! Thanks to everyone. I couldn't have done it without the support and friendship. I always have our group in mind. I'll be in a restaurant, and I'll think to myself, "I ordered well, I can't wait to tell the group!" Or, I'll be overeating, or not eating on plan, and I'll know that once I post about it, I'll get help here.
Please be sure to post something about yourselves and the group. Welcome to November. Take care, LauraA
Take care, LauraA
"ON PLAN, AND PLANNING TO STAY THAT WAY!"
