With lots of fits and starts, I am down 7 this morning. Woo Hoo! I am doing a calorie thing, so, I've been really good for a few days and the scale shows it. I can have the Crab Cakes if I keep this up. It's the desserts for me that are the issue.

Wendy, I get those spasms too. Ouch. I find moving does help even when it hurts. And a massage! Be gentle so that you feel good - you've got a long trip ahead of you.
