Hi,

I've had fluctuating weight issues for ten years, due to medications and age. :( I'm close to my heaviest again and it's time for me to lose the weight and keep it off this time. I know I can do it, because last year I lost 13 pounds in four months for my wedding (I've gained it back, and then some...and I haven't even been married a year!).

Just for fun, I just did a daily menu of my "dream day" (and days that I've actually had). I would gain close to 200 pounds in five weeks if every day were a "dream day". So as it turns out, my "dream" would actually be a nightmare. That gives me motivation!

I saw a quote on here somewhere (sorry, I can't give credit to whoever wrote it because I can't remember where it was)...and I love it... "No food tastes as good as skinny looks". THAT's my new mantra!
