Yes, I suppose that it would have to be silk. On my budget, I'm faking it with a very light, somewhat sheer, cotton krinkle gauze.

But I stayed on track anyway, and today it seems like everything is ok. This will be a slower process than what I did 9 years ago, but I think that the slower I lose it, the less likely I am to gain it back later, so I'm not going to worry about it. If it takes a whole year, instead of just 6 months, that's just fine.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885111469965099722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629232051240036073.post-38543085900818983702011-04-05T16:15:38.305-07:002011-04-05T16:15:38.305-07:00Good for you, Laurie!!

It's free, and has the food tracking, exercise tracking, and a fairly extensive community including "groups" and blogs for support. *I* like that it sends daily emails on various things related to weight loss, from a "eat this not that" standpoint, or just a motivational story.

More like allergies acting up than anything else. Good thing too, since I was supposed to be getting ready to host a Southwest Costume Guild meeting/workshop at my house today. The last of the happy hat-makers went home a little while ago, having spent the day learning how to make a 30's/40's inspired hat. They seem to have enjoyed the day and I am worn out. That was a hectic month, what with Defenders, Southern Crusades and a workshop in the house. I'm going to enjoy the next few days - nothing major scheduled!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885111469965099722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629232051240036073.post-758902806747981232010-11-21T18:57:48.207-07:002010-11-21T18:57:48.207-07:00Ohhh, I do hope you'll feel better soon!!
