Hi, Thia, and other folks, it's been months since I last checked in here. Trying to go it alone is dumb; I have made only a little progress in losing what I gained back after last spring's success. Doubtless I need the support and accountability of the group. I don't know wh

Disgusted and Demoralized

It is so great to see my old friends in last spring's Challenge. You are doing such great work! I, on the other hand, managed to regain every single pound I lost last spring. Starting all over again is just about the most demoralizing experience. Why post pictures? Simply refer to Feb. 2011.

Welcome back, Joyce. I've found the hardest part is getting back on the wagon - it takes so much courage. We're all glad you're here. -Carrie

Pam, my in-laws had a camp outside of Woodstock NH. There was a spectacular view of the AMC trail section containing Mt Moosalaukie and the Kinsmans. I had some good hikes in this area as well as skiing in Loon Mt. In VT, I worked at Burke Mt and rock climbed at Mt Pisqua State Park. Love the fall foliage! Congratulations on completing the 18 week program. Roger

Joyce, thanks so much for your comment, you are so right. I soo appreciate your kind words and support. I do have an accountability partner and we share a similar Big Forgive and I think she is struggling with hers as well. I just finished mine, so I'm hopeing it will help her too.

Jero with your ex-husband does he want to be in contact? I think amending the frienship would be great if your he also wishes for it. I hope you are doing good and I will be reading the step 8 thread. Thia

I Am

I am an educator and artist. I care deeply about music, the earth, and all living things. Mistreatment of animals makes me completely crazy.

My Favorite Charity

ASPCA, Humane Society, Susan G. Komen, Nature Conservancy

To me, Transformation Means

I used to be thin, until my forties. I enjoyed exercise until serious knee damage in my teens ended participation in high impact sports. I want to lose weight to take some pressure off my knees and back. I fear quality of life issues as an elder in America. For me, transformation means being able to be proud of my life choices, perhaps for the first time - a sobering thought at my time of life.

My Goals

My current goal is to lose 30 lbs. Last year I lost 17 and put them back on as my knees worsened. This current goal may take some time, as there is surgery in the middle of it.
