You really should, Grammy - such lovely views and scenery...Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are SUCH tourist traps, but fun. The area in Pigeon Forge has grown so much since we were there last...and it's only been 4-5 years. So glad we were there through the week and not over the weekend - traffic is te...

Not much time for an update, but a quick one...spent the day riding through the Smokies...LOTS of exercise including hiking to the higest point in the Smokies - Clingman's Dome (literally "on top of ol' Smokey," huh?!) and also a 30 minute walk in the evening. No S's -...

I'm trying to remind myself that it's good to feel a bit hungry. I've read so many books about how you can "lose weight without feeling hungry". But the bottom line is that if I'm truly hungry...not just psychologically hungry...that indicates that I'm consuming less than what my body is using - wh...

Thanks for the in-depth reply Roxy!

Costco has them on sale at the moment, but with these you must take 3 caplets daily in order t...

Thanks for the kind words Grammy and KCCC - they mean so much. Last night my husband and I went out to water some plants and flowers.

Weight has crept up a bit - back to 144-146 range. It had been 142-144, and I liked it better there. Need to watch "little things around the edges."
