• Weight Loss Anyone?

  Many of us have been on a diet for ... pretty much forever.  From my high weight (four years ago) to where I am now, I have apparently lost a newborn calf.  How about you?  Did you make a weight loss commitment back in January?  Where are you on the scale?  I'm shooting for a loss of 60 more pounds - eventually.  That would be a total loss equal to the complete Oxford English Dictionary which apparently I was carrying in my hip pocket!
