Winnie! Hi! I am back to doing Dietbet for the first time in 7 months. How are you doing? I see you have lost so much weight, congratulations! Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Winnie. Thanks for the support. So good to hear from you and love your Kate. <3 Chris was 27 1/2 when he passed in 2016. It was a long life for him, considering most babies born with porencephaly pass before they're 2 years. He was a happy spirit, despite the hardships. Miss him terribly, but know he's at peace now. I wish I could talk to him, just call him up and he would answer. <3

Hey, Winnie, which transformer are you in? I'm in October Overload. I'm also in two kickstarters. The silver lining to my week of bad health is my weight is down. I guess I've been spending more time taking meds than eating!

Hey, there, Winnie! I hope you are doing really well. There has been a lot of drama in my life recently - I ended up in the hospital this past weekend with a bad infection and a bad flare-up of my asthma. My lungs were filled with mucus and I could hardly breathe. They brought out the big guns - IV steroids and antibiotics. After two days they sent me home, and I was still struggling, but it wasn't so scary. After a few days at home I realized that something still wasn't right, and I tied it to a tooth extraction I had a week ago Thursday. So I got an emergency appointment at the oral surgeons yesterday, Friday, and just as I suspected, there was still foreign matter under the gum where the tooth was taken out. The surgeon removed that, and it has been like a miracle cure - gum swelling and pain is all gone now. I am still struggling with my breathing, but I'm taking all my meds and getting by. My mood is a lot better now, too, now that I have gotten such relief in my mouth!

Hi, Winnie! How are you doing with your kickstarters? I have been really slacking off with my diet since the end of our transformer, and I'm up several pounds. So yesterday I joined two kickstarters and a transformer! I have been doing dietbets off and on for 4 years now, and I only lose weight when I am doing one. I feel so good to be back in the dietbet community again. I am hoping to eventually get down to 180 pounds, which is a weight I haven't seen in 16 years. Wish me luck!

Hello, Winnie! I hope you get to see this message. Been thinking of you since the dietbet ended, and hope you are well. I am going to write an email to you tomorrow and see if you get it. Mine is tenatht@gmail.com. Just submitted a painting to a second show yesterday morning, I'll attach a photo of it with my email. Hoping we can stay in touch!

Hi, Winnie! Hey, this has all been a very interesting six months, hasn't it? As much as we want to lose weight and get healthier, we still have to deal with real life. I hope you are doing well, and I am definitely meaning to stay in touch. A little while ago I sent you an email, did you receive it? If you don't see it, check your spam, it might have gone there. Anyway, I am getting ready for my art show - it's this coming weekend! Quite nervous and excited now. Also trying to find time to start a new painting. OK, hope you got that email, talk to you later!

Hello, so great to hear from you, Winnie! You have had a lot of issues to deal with during this Transformer, I am amazed you have gotten through it all. So glad there was a good outcome of the trial related to your daughter's death. And glad you are finally getting some relief in caring for your mom. It sounds like she is going to a good home. Yes, I have done well on this dietbet, I'm down 23 pounds from my beginning weight. A combination of dietbet, my noom app and getting more active have helped a ton. Hey, I would love to stay in touch after this transformer is over - my email is tenatht@gmail.com, and I am on Facebook as Tena Turner (I love sharing that famous name!) Let's stay in touch and keep supporting each other.
