Thanks all. You all have made me feel very welcome already. I must confess I get a little irritated at some of the folks on the other forums who only have to lose 5 lbs and get upset because it won't come off in a day or two....hehe. I'm exaggerating but I'm sure you know what I mean.

I am thinking maybe I should make myself some mini goals since the big one seems like a really really long way away.
