Hi Liz, and

I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I can so relate to your "dark" years. After my sister suddenly died in 1998, I gained nearly 100 lbs so I can understand what you are going through.

This is a wonderful place for support. There is a daily / weekly chat you can join in. The ladies are just a little gift from heaven, we are very blessed to have each other. Hope to see you there.

Hugs !!

Welcome Liz

Sorry to hear about your pain....

Keep posting..........I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Hello, Liz!

Yes, a bout of depression can affect people's lives even when they are climbing their way out of it. You can lose the weight, and we'll be happy to support you!

Thank you

For all your sweet words.

Can wait to get to know all of you

love

liz
