Wow! What an awesome view! You are helping me so much to grow accustomed to fluctuations that are completely NATURAL and NORMAL. Thank you for that. You are also helping me stretch the acceptable range for weight fluctuation. I left you a note over on my journal. I - too -love Sundays! Love - love - love 'em!

What a great "5" for today. I have to admit, I am a little bit envious that you and your mother are so close and hang out together doing "girl" things. I love my mother with all my heart, but since I am the oldest of 11 children, we never really had much one-on-one time together. We still don't. I'm 37 now and my youngest brother is 15, so my mother is still raising children! I love my huge family, but at times the little girl in me wishes for that kind of bond with my mother that you seem to have. (Don't misunderstand me...I do love her and think she's been the most wonderful mother to all of us)

Twilight ... we each have blessings in different ways. I do feel so blessed to have my mother ... and you are so blessed to have siblings you are close to!!! Wow ... the oldest of eleven? My goodness ... I'm the oldest of two!! Thank you ... it is important to count blessings ... sometimes I forget ... and mom won't always be here with me!! I hope you have a great day!!

Great average! That's a good idea to calculate your average. It puts it all into perspective. Size 10's!!! WOO HOO!! That's awesome! Nice view from the dining room. Very pretty. Have a wonderful Sunday! :-)

Love the view. Its very similar to the view from my front window. Its a little farther away though. You are so right to feel blessed to have your Mom with you. I still miss the close relationship I had with mine even though I've been without her for 6 years now. I'vejust done some calculations too. Like you I feel 'bad' when I go up and 'good' when I lose. As I'm not there yet, I calculated my average weight loss per week and was quite surprised to find that if I don't lose any more til Jan I'll have averaged a pound and a half every week. We really must line up our mental picture of our body image and get our heads round the fact that the majority of people go up and down a few pounds quite naturally. Enjoy your snow - Can't wait for ours.

Doing the Size 10 Happy Dance! tappity tappity tap! Wahoo! I love your view! The snow makes me long for a 'snow day' off from school. I certainly relate to the body image thing. I hope eventually our brains catch up to our bodies (does that mean we have 'fat heads'?)!

Flax ... I don't know why I never thought about averages before!! We are both doing well ... happy happy joy joy!!! It has finally stopped snowing ... very pretty outside, probably got 3 inches. All of us "fatheads" will have to keep at this ... helping our brains catch up to reality!!

The averaging technique might do me some good as well, although for different reasons. judging from the picture, it looks like you are surrounded by peace. Keep up the great work moose! :-)
