Come on in, Peggy Sue! The water's fine!
There's lots of room on the Beach and some of us even have more room on ou towels since we started. Join us on the daily which is called The Weekend on the Beach this time. We are all supportive and slightly nuts! Check out the Recipe thread too.
And don't worry about "just" losing water weight. We need to lose that too. I lost 8 pounds on the first week and was just delighted - fluid or not!
I'm sorry about your wee Boston. As a pet owner (and nutcase) I can certainly relate to your loss.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
