Hi Leslely it is great to hear from you!!

Good on you for sticking with it all tis time, if only i had I would have made progress too instead of sliding back and then some .
Oh well that was in the past, and to that.
You are doing well and we are now about the same weight. I can see there will be no end to my gaining which is pretty scary and the more I gain the more I am going to have to lose so it is time. (this is sounding like something from the Lion King)

Thanks for remembering about Lisa. She is actually doing pretty well and has even gone back to school which is such a relief. She seems to have got some of her old personality back at the moment which is so nice after all this time . Long may it last.
There has been no more drinking.
You dont sound too thrilled about the nephew. How old is he? My 18 yr old son is no problem infact he is a delight and has been like a breath of fresh air this last year with everything else.
