Hi MamaBear - welcome to the group! I think this is exciting! Getting all the e-mails about comments being made on "Weigh-In" should help me keep on track. There are some good ideas here - small changes instead of thinking of the whole amount of weight we want to lose. They do say the slower, the more likely we will keep it off. We will have incorporated the good eating habits; a crash diet is so fast, we would go right back to our old habits. Oh, I should have said "I would go back to MY old habits! Been there, done that! Let's go girls!
