Hey Melissa!
I love your screen name!!! Where did you come up with it??
I too am armed with a tonne of knowledge and feel like, because of my weight, people (and I) feel I'm talking out of my a**.
I am trying to start new habits, instead of "dieting". Excercise is the one thing I need to make a habit of.

I am following Weight watchers...doing it online. I'm going at this five pounds at a time, intead of looking at the 81 I have left to go.
I'm fairly new here too, but welcome!!! private message me anytime and we can swap ideas and give and take support.
Tracy
