 I thought I wouldn't fit in either.  I started out at 268 and at 5'4"  my BMI was a little higher than "lightweight" too.  guess what?  This is THE board to be on and you will love it.  I feel like I know these people personally and you will too.  There are some very regular posters and some, iike me, that read every day but don't respond every day.  Doesn't matter-i still feel VERY WELCOME here.
so, welcome aboard.

I've come to the conclusion that there are two ways to measure "lightweight" on this board.

The first is the technical definition - 35-40ish BMI, about 100 pounds to lose.

The second is the attitude. If the LW creed is for you, then you're a lightweight no matter what the scale says.

I love this! And I absolutely agree. I love the positive vibe on this board and the 100% support I see on here. None of the other forums I've visited hold a candle to this one.

Thank you all so much, again, for the warm welcome!
