Good morning.
I have been a lurker for quite some time and would really like to join this group even though have 10 more pounds before reaching goal.
Had surgery in August 2011 and I would very much like to lose these 10 before my surgery anniversary but the last 5 took a month to shake.
I have wondered if there are any stats out there that give an idea of how loss of weight helps let us diminsh the chances of developing all kinds of problems. You know how, for those who have smoked, the stats say that after the first three months ( not sure if this is correct though ) the lungs have healed x % and that the chances of lung cancer have diminished by x %. Is there anything for weight loss?
I am truly sorry for your marital shake up. That is very very hard.
Thank you again everyone for your willingness to be honest and open. I have learned so very much from you all.

I have found that to get those stats I have to do google searches on specific conditions, I have yet to find a site that gives general stats but I am sure they exist. Try googling like obesity or weight loss and heart disease for example. Or you could try weight loss effects on disease and see if you find something more general. I would do it but am on my phone at the moment waiting for a call. Good luck I am sure it would not be hard to find.
Keep plugging away at those last few lbs they are by far the worst. Just keep up on your diet doing what you know is right, you will get there. Also, thank you for the well wishes. It will turn out as it is supposed to.
