thanks! and congrats to you too. I wish I had known about this site back then haha....its so much easier with a support system!

thank you! And I hear ya, everybody is in this boat together. Best of luck to you! :)

Thank you! That's so nice of you. I feel like I've met a lot of really kind and supportive people just in the few days I've been using MFP. And yes - I'm an avid dog lover as well.

When it comes to people you love, you are in a hard place. But what it comes down to is having the people you love live a long healthy life along WITH you. We work so hard for our health because we want to stick around! And we want the people we love to do the same. Maybe having a serious conversation about how important…

Word. To alllllll of that.

ahhh yes! Thank you!
