Elise (who will not absolutely, positively not drive in the snow due to a severe chicken like tendency in that regard). Believe it or not, we have 0 snow days planned into the calendar. It's only been the last few years that schools in the area have been called due to weather and that means ice. People up here are used to a lot of snow and can get through it pretty well. Lately though we've had more freezing rain - followed by snow which is impossible to drive through and dangerous, so school have to close. We also have to close when it is -40F which happened once last winter. Also, most people up here drive 4WD vehicles (trucks and SUV's) and know how to use them properly. I wouldn't get out of my road without a high vehicle because we don't get plowed until late in the day if at all on day 1 of storms. Jenn |

Keep up the good work with the cigs! I don't miss 'em anymore, except for once last night when I stopped at the bar. Then I got close enough to it that the smell made me ill - which I just love.

I wouldn't get out of my road without a high vehicle because we don't get plowed until late in the day if at all on day 1 of storms. Jenn Here in the DC area it's just the opposite. The roads are way over-full at the best of times and traffic is always horrendous. Relatively few people are good snow drivers. (In fact, because people are always moving here from all over the world, driving tends to be chaotic in general. There's a wide range of styles and customs, and lots of people don't know where they're going :-).) And we get a lot of ice and freezing rain, since in a storm temperatures tend to hover around the freezing point. The combination of these things leads to a huge mess whenever we have a storm. There have been incidents in the past where kids have had to spend the night at their school because the buses were in such gridlock they never got there to pick them up. So now the school systems are super cautious and will close even when snow is predicted. And then last week we had school closings due to Isabel. The first couple of days they just advised everyone to stay off the roads. And after that quite a few schools didn't have power or potable water. Chris |

That was the 1st time I've seen your website... You look GREAT. I hope I do
as well as you. As an HMR dieter, your success is inspiring. I haven't seen a number under 200 on my scale since I was 17.... I hope I can do as well as you. I am almost done with week 6..... Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I am currently 34. Thanks!! 284/255/199(minigoal)/???? -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net "Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ...

"Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ... "determined" wrote in message news Gosh, snow already? Where do you live? I'm actually looking forward to snow (ski fever), but this weekend here in Portland we're supposed to hit 90 again. It's been a super hot and dry summer for the PNW... I'm in far northern Wisconsin, just south of Lake Superior - on the fringe of an area called "the Lake Superior snow belt." My first year up here we had snow on 9/21, then 70's during deer hunting season (the week before Thanksgiving). Go figure. I swear this morning there was snow mixed with rain when I was driving to Curves. BTW, my brother and his family are right over the border from you in Vancouver, WA. I have to say - although I've never had more than 40 or so lbs to lose, every time I see your website and the progress you've made, I'm just awe-struck. I'm curious how your husband has been through your transition... Seem like it would be such a huge change for him too. Anyways, I congratulate you on your success - I think you're amazing. det My husband has been great. He was initially shocked when I told him I wanted to try HMR and he didn't think I'd be able to stick with it but kept that to himself. Once I was under 200 lbs he was convinced I'd make it all the way. It's been huge for him and we've had issues, but we're very good at working through stuff. I received a large and very beautiful flower arrangement at work today in celebration of this latest milestone. Thanks for the compliments. I think most of the posters here on ASD are pretty darn amazing (yourself included) and I'm glad to have so much support from everyone. Jenn Jenn, You are soooo cool! What an inspiration you are for all of us! : D Martha |

Getting below 200 was a major deal for me. Speaking of HMR, I started refeed today. Scale was at 149 and I decided it was just time for the potato instead of waiting until next week. I don't want to lose much more than where I'm at so I need to add the calories. The fiber, etc. will cause a temporary gain, but then I'll keep dropping weight over the next 6 weeks during the transition to my maintenance calories. Jenn 300/149/14? |
