Thank you everyone for the support so far :) It's nice to know that people care and that we can work together to get things done!

It's very sweet of your hubby to say he loves you the way you are...but at the same time, he will love you more when you love yourself more. And you are taking a step in the right direction! It's a new year and a great chance to take care of yourself. I am hoping to find success too, and I wish you the best in your journey…

First off, congrats for meeting half your goal already. Secondly *pulls out drill sergeant whistle and blows it* Let's make this happen! You can do it! Rah-rah (My attempts to be a cheerleader may or may not bring a smile to your face). You are already an inspiration so keep up the great work :)

All hail the Queen :) But in all seriousness, welcome back to the site. Coming back a third time shows determination...and that you want and can do this. I understand the emotional eating...I eat when happy, sad, glad, mad, joyful, angry, guilty...to celebrate, to drown sorrows, to express a love of food and a hatred of it…

Hiiii! It's my first day too! People here are warm and welcoming and it's an exciting journey we are all on. Remember, together we can take over the world...er...I mean...lose weight ^.^ Best wishes in meeting your goals :)
