Thanks for the welcome guys.

I have weighed myself and (for me) but have not gotten around to taking my measurements, just to darn cold to stand there nekkid in the bathroom. I'll PM it to you as soon as I have it, then you can add me to the list.

Well, day one went better than I expected and I even said NO to hot pudding

Sas - Sorry to hear about your friends
Krys- WOW that's a good loss
TD - you are my insperation ... thank you. I have been talking to DH that if I reach goal weight, I would like to have lipo for my knees ... and maybe my saddle bags.
