    Be careful with SF candy, it can have a disastrous effect if you’re not near a toilet! LoL Speaking from personal experience.

    LOL I had the same thoughts. Also personal experience.

    Welcome! 45 weeks/Pounds is a LOT.
    Never too late to start here.

    It is! But it’s a pound per week until years end. If I hit 30 I will still be proud of myself.
