Well this *is* a surprise.  :-)

I'm doing fine.  My weight as of last night was 328 pounds so I have
not regained the original weight I lost when I first started Atkins
and that is a good thing (to me).  A certain person says I have gotten
bigger but the scale does not tell me that.  My original weight was
374.

I haven't lost any more weight but I haven't exactly been doing
anything to facilitate that either.  My eating is roughly 75% low carb
and 25% not low carb plus I have not been exercising like I *should*
be exercising.

Lying in bed for a little over a year much of the time and sleeping
and/or crying is not considered exercise by any standard.  However, I
am feeling happier as each day passes now  and the 'band-aids' are
firmly in place where they need to be and staying where they need to
be until I have put myself in a place in my mind when I can finally
rip them off and know I am fully healed from the experiences of
2002/2003.

I have been thinking about joining the YMCA and am going down for a
tour once I catch up on all the unfinished work I have to do around
the house.  In the meantime I have been videotaping shows like 'Sit
and Be Fit' and doing those for exercise.  Tonight I will pull my old
Richard Simmons Dancing to the Oldies tapes out of storage to use as
well.   I love the music in them and it really cheers me
up......especially the Born To Be Wild segment of the tape.

And I plan to get my eating back on track asap. I am hitting the
grocery store tomorrow and rereading DANDR for info.

One thing that has not changed is my water intake.  I'm drinking 3
litres a day every day.  If I don't drink that much I get headaches.

Anyhoo....that is how things have been going.  I hope I didn't get too
personal here or too lengthy and thank you very much for asking.  I
was really surprised as well as pleased by that.  It is nice to know
that someone out there cares.

I also got another nice surprise this morning. I was in my usual
chatroom and someone recognized my chat name and asked me if I ever
was in the low carb newsgroup.  I told him yes and we had a really
nice little chat.  He is maintaining after losing 108 pounds.  I think
that is really awesome.  I am completely in awe of people who have
lost so much weight and are able to keep it off.  I *hope* to *be* one
of them someday.  :-)

Take care Jeff and thanks again.  :-D
