Good morning to you. It is a beautiful morning here, sunny.
I am still here on Island 156 this morning. Enjoying it, really, as I am down over 15 pounds since January of this year. :-D
....If you read my entry yesterday, it will bring you up to date of what happened before yesterday afternoon.
After I received the food the Welcome Committee gave to me, I decided to go on a picnic around supper time. I was very hungry and the fresh air was cool outside. Only thing was...I didn't realize there were others going on a picnic at the same time...who lived in the forest around Island 156 cabin.
As I walked through the woods, I met a couple of 'island cats' shall we say...??? 
They looked hungry but they let me pass. I was thinking of returning back to the cabin but I walked on ahead toward a clearing by the water. I set the basket of food down on the ground and walked a little ways up by the water and bent down and got a handful of it and put it on my face...so cooling and refreshing! When I returned back to the basket, I found these 2!
They were just about to help themselves and I ran them off...chased them a good ways away! Well...when I came back, this is what I found!
Who's going to run him off???
So...I decided to go back to the cabin...
I had a little food left at the cabin and I ate that...FISH....and it was good. Then I decided to go to sleep...but I was awake most of last nite cause there was a hooting sound 
outside my window all nite long!
..............................................................................
Hope you are having a good day...
Remember...every day with the Lord Jesus is a good day!

Good afternoon to you.
Someone representing the Welcome Committee of Island 156 came by yesterday. I was given a basket and a little barrel of foods. I thought that was nice.
....I was happy to get the foods after rowing here to Island 156. The basket contained fresh fruits and veggies....pineapple, canteloupe, even some apples...
Also, squash, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and green string beans. The barrel contained FISH! Yes! Fresh fish! So today and yesterday I had some of the foods and they were very delicious. Once a person gets used to eating healthier foods instead of lots of sugared sweets, which has always been my food weakness, the healthy foods begin to taste better and better!
..............................................................................
Hope you are having a good day...
Remember...every day with the Lord Jesus is a good day!

Good afternoon to you.
Well, I finally arrived at Island 156.
....I rented this cabin on Island 156...how do you like it? I rented it for a week but I can get a transferr to a cabin at Island 155 if I leave early to relocate to Island 155. In the meantime, I've decided to do some fishing. Anybody here like to fish? This island has pineapple and watermelon, as well as potatoes, onions, and other healthy foods, so that suits me just fine.

Hello to you.
Weight today is 157.0, so no 156 yet.... Current bmi is 23.9.
I've been busy today, cleaning and cooking...cooking food for today and tomorrow. Hubby, Daughter, and I plan to have a cookout this afternoon. We will be grilling out chicken. I am preparing potato salad and green string beans to go with it. Tomorrow after church, we will be having beef chuck roast with potatoes and onions baked together and also I am planning on baking a chocolate cake later today for tomorrow, too, to go with the roast.
....Looking to be relocating to Island 156 soon....
Make sure to HAVE FUN on your journeys, everyone...it's not all about a number nor a size, etc....but it is about enjoying each day the Lord has given to us!
...............................................................................
Remember...every day with the Lord Jesus is a good day!
Love, Maria

Good morning to you.
Well, this morning, I finally arrived at Island 157.
I lowered my calories a little lower and got more active and that helped some. Current bmi is 24.0.
.... Well, more 'work' to do...Island 156 next....

Hope you are having a good day... Remember...every day with the LORD is a good day!

Good morning to you.
I am still on Island 158.
I've worked at getting to the next island, Island 157, but for some reason I've been in a 'maintain mode', it appears or shall I say...PLATEAU???.... My calories have been really good and I thought I would be lower by now, so I don't understand but I'll just keep working on it... Current bmi is 24.1.
.... Meanwhile, I come here often and read your entries and I am so happy for all of you for your successes. Keep on keeping on! :-D
...............................................................................
Hope you are having a good day... Remember...every day with the LORD is a good day!
Love, Maria

Maintaining is also good:-)
ps something just made me think of PastaGal for some reason--would be nice to hear from some of the "deep-deep" old members here.
StellaStarr (aka OnceAgain) was here for a minute, but no sightings of late--hope she reads and realizes we STILL don't bite:-)

I hope you had a Happy 4th yesterday! It's always nice to see the regulars keeping regular on here! It's a long-standing group we have here. Amazing we can support each other, thru all of these YEARS!...I wish I remember what year I started here. I changed my screen name once and I think the entries are deleted :(
