I'll join you ladies if you don't mind - I just started up again today after about a one year break. I have a goal of 45 lbs but it may end up being 50 as my scale this AM said 199 vs. the 195 I thought I was at. Oh well all the more reason to get going! I have a journal as well in the journal section under Catbert's Journal - I know - very original - oh well lets keep this lively - cats
