Hi, I'm Harriet, and I'm also from Michigan, near Lansing. It would be fun to have a little Michigan support group. I've been a member for many years now, at least on paper, but I'm going back to it and trying to use it more religiously. I have a bunch of weight to lose, but hesitate to put a number on it. I've lost 50 pounds in the past ( and 40, and 70, and 20 and another 40) but because I didn't reach my goal, I felt like a failure, and started back treating my disappointment with food. So I guess my goal is to lose the next pound.
