@allison8668 Don't you dare step away. It take all kinds to make a team, slow, fast, up or down. Those of us who are a long way from almost to a normal BMI or goal enjoy seeing those of you who are almost there make it. You are our role models. And if you step away how will I know when to ring my bells and blow my whistle…
