I'm Susie from Nashville, TN. I've lurked here off and on for a while. I've got about 50lbs. to drop, and am looking forward to all of the wonderful insight found here on the board. Back in the mid 90s I dropped 75 lbs. and kept it off until about 5 years ago when I stopped smoking. I've gradually put back the weight, with intermittent periods of 15-20 lb. losses. I'm also entering the wonderful world of menopause, so it's going to be tricky. Glad to be here, and looking forward to being part of the group.

Hi Susiekay! My hometown is Nashville. I was just there at the end of May visiting my father. Wonderful place! I'm glad you joined us here! This is a wonderful community for support and inspiration! You can do this! At age 54, I'm still losing, so you can too! Good luck!

Hey Susiekay! You have come to the right place for information and tons of support. You are my neighbor over here in North Carolina. I will be 58 in July and know that I am in the right place to help me lose as well.

Good Luck!

Hi Susiekay, welcome! Great job quitting smoking, really hard thing to do.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward to interacting with you, and getting on track with the weight loss!
