Come on Chanteyl, you can do this.

N2L, I hope you figure out what is causing the swallowing problems.

Myrt, I used to go to TOPS years ago. My mother just started back for the umpteenth time and wants me to start going with her. The group she started going to meets on Thurs morns and we used to attend a Tues pm one. I may start after I am done working in May.

I am taking early retirement, I couldn't pass up the offer. I turned 55 in Nov but don't plan to pull from my pension fund. I am looking for work in a variety of places. I still have some good years in front of me. However, I was getting burnt out where I was after 12 years. I was planning to leave anyways, so the buyout came at a good time.

I have been MIA for a while now and haven't been tracking food or weight on MFP. I decided to get started again. So, I weighed today at 201 which still gives me a total loss of 59.4 lbs. But, I basically have been staying the same for about 6 months now. Time to kick it in gear.
