Congratulations on your weight loss success Annie, especially during this time of year! I love sweets, Coke, and Ginger Ale too much, but at least I maintain my heavy weight champion weight of 217 pounds and it never gets any worse than that. I do a lot of walking, that helps. Looks are not important to me, it all goes to the grave someday, but to be healthy is important, so maybe I will work on it next year. My daughter just came over to me, offering me a lick of her Charms Blow Pop, a grape flavored lollipop with bubble gum inside, leftover Halloween candy. Hard for Moms to lose weight.
