Hi Housewifey,
I'm a new member too and we have almost exactly the same amount to lose! Did you start WW yet? I have had real success on WW several (!) times in the past. All you have to do is stay on the plan --
(i think i can, i think i can...) Good luck!
I just decided to get serious about my weight because of some recent health problems, but haven't yet committed to a diet, just healthier eating. Let me know how you do!
