I like it for the diversity of the recipes-she also gives you 12 minutes of weight lifting a day that I think are fun-I am not the biggest fan of weights. Do get yourself a passport and travel-you will enjoy it. As a Canadian I would say consider Canada too-if you did the West Coast you could go to Vancouver and Banff-and then see San Fran, LA and maybe a few of the National Parks on the west coast. Of course NYC is also a must do.

The down side of not blogging etc is that feeling of losing touch with people you count as your friends!!<br />It was very interesting having those conversations with people and realising just how differently we saw the things that were happening. It explained a lot.<br /><br />I hope you have a great 2015 too.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-55342868712240924092015-01-03T18:54:41.772+11:002015-01-03T18:54:41.772+11:00I must admit the idea of gaining some or all or mo...I must admit the idea of gaining some or all or more of that weight scares me a lot! But hopefully I have got enough tools now to not do that.<br /><br />I did live more in 2014, and I didn't use reading as an escape which was sometimes unhealthyMarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-21375550423871406082015-01-03T18:53:11.754+11:002015-01-03T18:53:11.754+11:00Thanks Iliana!

I think you look wonderful and I'm so proud of you for the weight loss, but I am even more thrilled that you've sorted things out with people from your past and are feeling better about yourself in so many ways. Best wishes for a wonderful 2015 :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-21916526983503429372015-01-02T09:57:03.274+11:002015-01-02T09:57:03.274+11:00It sounds like a wonderful year!

Here's to 2015 being a losing year again - and this time sticking with it! I plan on doing the same thing you said: portion control and move more. I think part of the reason I didn't stick with it is because I got sick to death of counting points. <br /><br />Anyway, Happy New Year! And look at it this way: you did less reading in 2014, but more living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-32457070179979658542015-01-01T07:37:55.980+11:002015-01-01T07:37:55.980+11:00Marg you look fabulous!

I'm proud of you for the weight loss, knowing what it takes since I lost about 20 pounds myself. I hope to continue losing in the coming months. Don't worry about the reading.
