michelle so glad to hear from you again. glad your trip to Oregon went well. I love Oregon and hope to move there again. I grew up there and all my family lives there, but met hubby here and his family lives here and his job is here. We'll see.
I want to open our support group in another thread perhaps I will name it
Get Lean Any Way You can!!
Okay I hope you all can find it; otherwise e-mail me at [email protected]

and yes there is a chat room here; sounds as if you have discovered that and are on your way to getting grouped up! Feel free to jump right in anywhere in the forum... you will find the waters friendly although some of us may be doing aerobics in it.
