How wonderful it feels to get such a warm welcome and read all the encouragement and good wishes from all of you. You really made me feel that you understand where I'm coming from.
I am hopeful about my journey now, and it was good to be reminded that I don't need to feel ashamed about having gained the weight back... It served a purpose at the time, and now I'm ready to move on to a new, healthier place.

I look forward to posting regularly and hope that I can be as inspiring to you as you all have been to me.

:-)

Oh, and to NotTheCheat: I live in Greenwich also - weird right? Maybe we should compare notes! It's nice knowing that there is a "fellow traveler" within a few miles of me!

I thought I posted this once already but I think it got lost?! (Please bear with me, if this post appears twice I'm sorry!!)

Shalott - Wow - small world! I just moved to Greenwich a few months ago so I am still finding my way around. I have found I really enjoy walking in Bruce Park, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get my park pass yet. I would love to be able to walk by the ocean and I know there is a really nice park with walking trails (my company had a picnic there once). Feel free to PM me if you want to chat more.

Welcome Shal!!
