Diane, glad you are joining us. We need all the help we can get.

Kathy, I stepped on the scale today and lets just say that I really have my work cut out for me. :eek: I can do it though. My goal is simple: Into the tux by wedding time November 4th and down 50 by cruise time on 12/11. I figure that if I can lose 7 lbs this week and then average about 2.5 lbs per week for the following 17 weeks then I am there.

I am already getting a headache (lack of carbs, sugar, and caffeine), so I know my body is going to be in rebellion.
