Tracy, you can do it! Great job getting your food and exercise back in control, doesn't that feel good? That is so sad about the man at the gym, I really feel for him. He did it once, he can do it again, but still sad. Keep up your good work, 4 pounds over Christmas is not bad at all!

Sounds like you finally got back into the fitness mode! It's nice when you are "in the zone" and enjoy working out.

Your food looks good too, I bet those 4 holiday pounds will go away quickly.

toystoryduo · Jan 12, 2009

You're doing a great job getting back into the gym, Tracey! Those 4 pounds will be gone quickly! Keep up the good work! :cheer2:

I hope you have a great day ahead! :hug:
