Hi:

I am new. I need to lose 75 pounds. This seems like such a huge task! I am breaking it down in five pound increments. That is the only way I can deal with it!

I will be 54 years old next month. I have a chronic illness that has put me in the hospital 64 times since 1997 but I am doing great now. I feel like I have to try and fix some of the damage now and weight loss is the biggest thing I need to do.

I could use the support and am willing to offer support to all.

My e-mail is kgfortenberry@bellsouth.net
