((((pixies)))) I have missed you all so much while I was away. I've gone back and read all you have have posted since I have been away. I also stepped on the scale as soon as I got home today. I didn't have a scale to use for the past week. I also wasn't active and didn't eat incredibly well. I was prepared for disappointment. Much to my suprise, I have a 4 lb loss and I know I'm typically .5 - 1 lb higher in the afternoons than in the mornings. How excited am i? ESTATIC!!!

I saw Lil asking about how much each of us has lost since we started - since 1/1/06 - 29 lbs. I was very disappointed that none of my family (haven't seen them since Christmas) noticed the missing pounds.

It's incredibly good to be home, where the temptations are lacking and I can be more in control again.

Lil, good luck with the surgery. Please keep us posted as to when it will be. I have no good advice about the iron, sorry.
