Welcome Kate and others! I have posted in this thread before, I think, but I am a 47-year-old bisexual woman married to a great Italian guy and I have a 13-year-old stepson. Both my husband and I are trying to lose weight; I have an advantage though in that I had WLS, ha! But he only has about 10-15 pounds to go so we are in a similar boat. Cheers to all!
