^^ agree Karma is a bi***. I had a "friend" that referred to me as a hippo one time and guess who's more overweight now than I am woot-woot!!! but I would never say anything to her like that because I KNOW how it makes you feel. Some people are just jerks, I am sorry you had to go through the pain it causes when someone is…

All I can say is it has worked for…

You can do it, I have been doing it since first of January this year and talking of grandchildren, On the 4th of July I took my kids to a water park and first time ever I got to be involved more with it, riding the rides etc with them.
