wow Jan that is so awesome.  My dad was a preacher, we constantly moved as kids, but when he retired he came up here bought a small farm and told us all he'd give us land, so we loved it and put us a place on it but my brother or sister did not want to move to the 'boonies' so they never did come. We loved it for years, than my back injury happened so that ended my days of 'playing' on the farm, than  mom and dad began to become feable, than my husband had it all to care for plus work a job 50 miles away, so life got 'rough'. Mom passed in 2006 and hubby had his first heart attack so we decided time to simplify, so we moved to one acre  and a smaller home, but those memories are sweet ones for sure.

and Jan, I lived next door to my mom and dad for 18 years on a farm about 5 minutes from here, than after mom died and dad was dying we sold the farm and moved here, we loved having things that way all those years, it was great when all was well, than just a few months after we moved here, my daughter and family bought the house next door to us, haha so now she can say 'mom' lives next door, and having my granddaughter so close is so precious.

Welcome Carlyann, what a beautiful name I had never heard that name before. You have your entire life ahead of you and you can do this, you will be 'thin' before you know it   We are all here for you, there are some very kind wonderful caring people on this forum! Merry Christmas to you! I am in Ohio, about 60 miles from Cinti.

I never was one to eat much candy  or choc. till I went on FTS and found out about the Russell Stoffers sf.  Than for a treat I got to eating way too much of that, my weight loss stalled and I got very discouraged, So I know  that for me, I cannot even have them in the house no more if I want to see the scale go down.

Thanks Doug, my brand new book and cd came today and I just love it, cannot wait to plug in the cd! Thanks for signing it too what a treat.  Loved seeing all you all in it too that have your success stories in there. I really need it right now, plan to really spend time reading it. The mailer was torn open some and two corners damaged slightly but no worry it will be okay. Thanks again and perfect timing!

Yes amen what a great problem that would be to have... 

Good morning Jan, WOW I am so happy for you.... praise the Lord!!!!! Your testimony gives me HOPE.

truly awesome sherripie, and you look so beautiful, what an inspiration you are to me.
