    Welcome Charles...lots of support here. One day at a time...oh yeah, not an AA meeting. It's still the best way to accomplish any goal that must be taken in small steps. Best of Luck!!!

    Morbidly obese....ugh!!! I despise that term. That is why I am here to get out of that "catagory"! Welcome to MFP!! I too am here for a LONG journey looking for fun, friendly people to help pass the time whether it be the motivation, the kind words that shun off the negative thoughts, a laugh, a good recipe, whatever!!! If you would like feel free to add me.
