Thank you, ladies! I truly appreciate your support and encouragement! It means soooo much to me!

SweetM -- Follow your dream as well and find that wonderful lady you once knew! She will love you for it !

BeingMe -- "Hoo boy!!!" is right! Too bad you're not in California because then you could whip me into shape since I need to lose about 15 pounds .

Ok, there's another goal right there. I'm going to lose 15 pounds by the end of the year. I've lost 20 since the bomb back in late January -- it's been a struggle , but I am going to do it .

Scotti -- "Taking control of my life".....hmmm....I LOVE IT!! It is the GREATEST feeling I've had in sooo long, and I've never been so very proud of myself ever before. This IS awesome!!!

Thanks again, ladies! Your words added more sunshine and joy into my life !
