    Yah! You did it! The real key to change is Wanting to change. The best explanation for that I ever heard was from a man who said " I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired". I can certainly relate to that!!! You will find lots of support here from people who totally understand the challenges. Whether we have 100 pounds to lose or 10, we are all in the same boat. I find that logging in really helps me. I guess I am just too embarrassed to eat a lot of junk and let everyone know it :) Good luck!!!
