Hello All, Newbie on board

[Maypo]

Hello everyone. I am a 52 yr old widow who has been in this fatty postion before. Yo-yo diet should be my middle name.

I lost 85 pound on the LC WOE 3 yrs ago and have gained almost all of it back. At that time I began at 330 lbs.

I started over on May 29, 2006 at 310 lbs. I am presently 298 lbs and that is after 2 weeks of induction. I would have thought I could get more of a weight loss but 12 pounds was the limit and I'll take it.

I hope to get the support I need here to make it goal this time and keep it off.

I'm looking forward to getting to know a great deal of you here. I have been lurking for awhile and you all seem like a pretty cool bunch.

I hope I'm welcome.
