Greetings to all from MA where the Boston Marathon starts in 30 minutes. It's always been a dream of mine to run the marathon, but since I'm only 2 years behind you Ellen, it'll probably stay a dream. I did walk it once!

Scale was up today even though I was pretty good yesterday. I ate 2 jellybeans and had a couple of tablespoons of baked beans with my dinner yesterday. I also had some wine in the evening after the guests were gone and the dishes cleaned. Oh well, I hope it hasn't put me a WHOLE WEEK?!?

Welcome Pam, I'm glad you're joining us. I don't expect I'll hit 150 by July but that doesn't stop me from "counting down". As far as the weight loss speed, I lost 3 pounds a week last year EVERY week. This year I'm losing incredibly slowly. It is frustrating but hang in there. It will come off.

Amy
