Nice loss! 

Thanks Mike :) Its actually damage repair from my trip away but I *am* happy about it! :)) 

I understand the damage control... I was up "significantly" early last week due to not working out because of my surgery... I think I'll be capable of a pretty FULL workout today... :) All that said, I'm still below my goal weight... I wasn't earlier last week, but got it back where it should be :-) Keep on "keeping on"! Happy DAY! 

Great drop. 

Thank you Mike & glad to hear *you* are up again for a full work out! I was on my way to walk & found a big hard slightly red bump bigger than a quarter on my leg so I called friends & family I visited & sent pix,getting advice how to doctor it in case its a brown recluse bite. I looked things up online & decided NO STRENIOUS activity for me until it's gone so in order to keep weight in line I will be consuming less calories until Im back at my workouts! *I* will not let this detract me from pursuing my goals.It is another test that LOOMS up in the path of "life" that I *will* find a way around successfully :) So for now,elevate the bite(?) above my heart,take it easy as to keep venom(if it is from a brown recluse) from spreading,look for symptoms of nauesa, fever,sever itching & pain (it was slightly itching when I discovered it) Wish me well! :)  

Thanks Unamoyer ....*youre* down 35 in 3 months :)

TIC, how are you? Was it a spider bite? 

Thanks Mike & Bill. :) Deb I dont know,Im thinking NO. I cant see a "bite",it only itches & is red & hard. I checked things out online for "recluse" bites just in case & am keeping calf above heart level & doing no strenious activity until it goes away. There is no pain. I have no nausea or fever. Just taking precautions since I dont know *what* it is.I drew an ink mark around it as soon as I discovered it & sliced a potato then grated it a bit to expose juices & placed it on bite,*lightly* wrapping it in place. Today it is smaller in size but still red,hard & itching. Thanks for your concern. If it forms a pimple/blister or gets bigger or I start to feel any pain I will get to E.R. a.s.a.p. :) The photos are nothing that I desire :)
