You can do this! There is so much support here, and encouragement, advice, and old-fashioned kicking-you-in-the-pants when you need it!

Thank you so much! 1999, wow! You have admirable fortitude my friend, good for you! I hope I find a good little niche in here again like I did before. I doubt that will be a problem, I am already feeling more motivated and supported. *warm fuzzies*

Heck, I was impressed that you didn't do what I always have done after a significant weight loss which is, of course, to not only gain it back but to add on another 30-50 pounds. So, welcome back. Think what worked before. And know that you're amongst friends.

You are so right, I could have gone all the way back to 245 and then some. I like your optimism! Thanks!
