I think Missy should be allowed in this month. She is on a strick diet but one she told us about that anyone of us could choice to do. Also she exercises 4Xs a day, that's working hard for weight loss, any of us could choose to do the same. She should not be kept out just because she has a goal to reach for surgery. There are a lot of us heading for that surgery if we don't get the weight off so maybe we should be following her lead on diet and exercise, check with doctor first, instead of just not wanting her in. There are a lot of skinny mimmies outthere who are not getting in because they don't need the weight loss but they could learn a lot from us and our trials that could help them. We fatty Matties know we are not going to win every month but we still jump in. If I win one of these months I will still jump in the next to encourage the next winner with my FQ. I am going to follow Missys example and see if I can be as strong as she is. Missy let me know what you loose, I will send youb 10 SW FQs if you reach your goal. Ree Ann Chick aka SWChick
