Melanie-
Congratulations on your weightloss. Your success story definately touched me and your last paragraph definately, hit the nail on the head!! Thank you for sharing!

Dag.....i wish i could loose weight like that i try and try and its like fat isnt burning!

My first memo- and new to computers so bear with me. I've had a weight problem since my teens- that was 50 years ago. My weight really sky-rocketed after my second child was born, he's 32. I've never bought in to fad diets, am well versed in nutrition, have been a Weight-Watcher member off and on (more off than on) for 40 years, and am still 80-90 lbs from goal. The good news is that I'm down 63 lbs from my top weight, and begining again.

Damn....
Your story hit home. I did at one time do anything to be skinny, diet pills ( not the kind your dr gives you and Bulimia)

Size 10 is a great size! Be proud!

Im a newbie too its great to hear your success story.. im so proud of you!! it makes me feel like theres hope for me as well.... Im around the weight you were when you first started out and can only hope to be where you are now. I know my ultimate goal might be difficult to reach but in time I know I can do it. Thank you for posting your story.. you are truly an inspiration!!!
