OMG OMG OMG

That would be wonderful if you can think good thoughts for me when you all get together.  I sure would appreciate it. This forum is amazing, total strangers, cheering each other on, holding each other up and sharing each other's joys and heartaches.  This means so much to me.  I will post later, let you know how it went.
Thanks for your kind words.

 Honey, We are all sisters after a fashon. We are of different ages and stages of life. We have differing education, economic status and marital status. That does not matter because we all share the pain  of obesity, of knowing how it errodes our self-esteem and self-confidence. We share how  obesity steals our health and freedom. We also share a dream. The dream is freedom from obesity.  So Ann, we are not really strangers, we know each other quite well.
PS= we have brothers too but they have been silent lately!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there, Thanks.  Having the Band and so glad for it.
