After 4 1/2 weeks, I got on the scales for the 1st time since starting this...and I'm down 21.5 pounds! I've had my head in the clouds all day over the good news. Because I have so much farther to go, I don't think it shows much yet, but I feel a difference for the better. Thanks to all who support me and each other on this great website, what a wonderfully nurturing cyberhome.
