Buffy,
Congratulations! A 6 pound loss is very good. It sounds like you've got the right attitude. Diet boards like this one are a great source of ideas, support and fun. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck!!

Hi Buffy,
I have been at 240 pounds, it is not easy but with your determination you will do it.
I have gotten to a stand still now at 185, like you I am determined to lose the additional weight, we'll hang together and DO IT!!! O.K.? Just me R

Hi Buffy!

I just wanted to say welcome, and that you can do it! Keep coming back here for support, and stay motivated!
