    i AM losing! you betcha!!
    Cut and paste is on the mouse.Click the left side and a small window will pop up and 'cut' will be in it.Right Click it on what ever you want to transfer,then come back to here in another window and go to your "my profile" pg up at the top of this page.Scroll down to 'your signature' and left click in that box and rt click 'paste' and the ticker numbers and letters will be transfered,but the picture will be on your posts.That's how I did it.And I like the tickers.I think their cool.I just figured it out yesterday myself.And my granny panties, of which they are cause I hate any thing up my butt thank you very much,are too big.They were sz 14's in the nylons briefs JMS.Now I'm in a 10.Did you watch that video I put in to watch?I think everybody here ought to watch the 600 pound mom.Thank god I got a hold on mine when I did.
    oops,meant click the rt side to get the little window to open.And left side to transfer.sorry

    I know that I can no longer lose weight without exercising, so I'm trying to do that more often. Just came back from the fitness center at my local senior center. Exercised for a little over an hour.
    Senior center isn't open on the weekend. That's when I really need to find something else to do. It's way too hot and humid here to walk outside. And, it's has been raining in the early evening when I'd like to swim-- rain with thunder and lightning that is. If it was just light rain, I'd swim anyhow.
    I have too.yo-yoed a lot.It finely dawned on me that diets don't work.Lose 20 gain back 30.That's how I got to 250 pounds.Then saw the ads for jenny craig and got TV dinners and green salads.Now I am 157,so it did work for me.Plus it is cheaper on the grocery bill and no left overs to snack on.Plus it was portion control and around 350 calories each.It's the only thing that has worked for me.Wished I'd a done it yrs ago.But that's ok,I'm slowly but surely getting there now.And I feel so much better and can bend over and tie my shoes where before I couldn't.Plus my blood work has been perfect now for 4 yrs.It's a win-win for us all the way around and don't have to go hungry.I like that especially.

    Not such a great report. Up 12 pounds today of fluid. Started another diuretic with weekly blood tests.

    Also, last weekend when I told you I was so sick...I had a minor heart attack. Confirmed today by tests.

    Go back to doc in two weeks and to hosp for tests next week.

    Keep on Walking, moving and shaking. Make those pounds run away out of fear! :D
