Hi Joanne!!! Yes, I've seen you around a bit. I'm glad you were inspired to change your name. I went through a name change as well. My username was "fed"up when I first started here at 3FC back in Sept. 06, but about 2 months in, I changed it to my current name. I like this new name of yours much better!
Since you've been reading, then you know just how doable weightloss really is. You can take a look around this wonderful board and see so many people, who through thick and thin ARE winning the battle. Good luck to you. I really look forward to hearing more from you and hearing about YOUR success as well.
