who was a synchronized swimmer.

I was!!!! I did it from 10 and under's until I was 16!!! Calgary Aquabelles, the same club that Michelle Cameron and Carolyn Walden came out of!!!

Synchro rocks!!!

That's neat. I thought for sure I'd be the only one! I swam from 8 and under til I was 18 in Saskatoon. I still coach.

You're right synchro does rock!

Very cool!!!!! I could never do that, I get wicked vertigo on boats and throw up non stop

Would you believe, I get wicked seasick. But there is a British drug, called Stugeron (developed for the RAF), which is frustratingly not available in the US, but is luckily available in all the Commonwealth countries, that is very effective for me. I never leave port without it.

And here I assumed that I was the only CLOD (cruiser lost on dirt) on here! Do you miss it? I really miss the adventure, and the other cruisers. Such a fun and interesting group of people.

My first plane ride was at age 5, we were on our way to live in the United Arab Emirates and stopped over in Holland, among other places

Between all of the books in the series, I have read/listened to them well over a hundred times. I have the audiobooks on in the background while I'm sewing/cleaning, etc... And I never get tired of the stories.

This is FANTASTIC!! Congratulations... Did you subscribe to a particular program or just change of lifestyle?

After trying every diet under the sun I found out i had celiac disease which in a way contributed to my over-eating (aka none of the nutrients were being absorbed in my intestines so I was constantly eating and constantly hungry). I had gastric bypass 6 months before my wedding (imagine trying to fit a wedding dress at that time...) and did a total change of lifestyle as far as the foods I eat. Unfortunately over 50% of the people who have weight loss surgery gain back that weight plus more in 4 years. I'm now 6 years post-op and have maintained my weight (excluding the weight gain with pregnancy from DD- although I lost that afterwards through healthy eating).

I hate exercise but had to start exercising once my stomach expanded back to a normal size (which happened much sooner than i'd hoped!) so I'd have to do a lot of work to get these thighs down, too, but I'm much happier being a size 14/16 than the 32W I was!

I have to make sure I'm careful with what I eat now to a certain extent because I know firsthand how bad eating can compile very quickly. My goal is to NEVER EVER gain enough back to even be close to that. That's why pregnancy weight gain is so scary for me! I know it's necessary but it freaks me out b/c I don't want to lose the control I have now that it took me 24 years to get!
