Because I have about 60 pounds to lose, I never visited this board before, so I was surprised by the frustration and fear in so many of the posts. We CAN succeed. We DON'T have to feel alone and, all too often, like freaks of nature (I know I feel this way after walking in a room and once again knowing I'm the biggest person in it). If you want to chat with me, please send an e-mail. I'll be there for anyone who wants to talk. Meanwhile - keep the faith, and know that you are not alone. We're all in the same boat, more or less - literally!
