Just found this board. How do you know if you are a lightweight? I am 5'1.5 tall and my starting weight was 247. I have enjoyed reading this board and everyone seems very nice. I am almost seven months out and have lost 90 lbs. Either way I really enjoy reading you board.

Glad you're no longer a lurker! If you find substance in what we have to say here then you ARE a lightweight!
