Hi all. I hope you don't mind if I jump in here. I'm not doing WW at present, I'd done it in the past and it worked really well but I couldn't afford it long term and counting points was driving me nuts. Anyway I met misty in another group and followed her here. I've been posting on and off with one particular group since I joined but don't feel the same support so I'd like to find a new home and ya'll seem like a great group. A little info about myself...
