Hi Mary Ann,
My name is Evie and I am a friend of Helen's. I read your journal and I wish you only the best in this endeavor and I want you to know I really understand how hard and frustrating losing weight can be, but if we lose a little every week then the monthly goal is so much more attainable. I know by experience that this is not easy and like you, I need to lose for health reasons. AND we can do it.
Congratulations on your 20 pound loss. That is quite an accomplishment, and you need to be proud of that. Although please stop worrying...it creates a whole new set of problems....yup, been there too. Hahahaha
I hope you allow me to join your friends list....we will all do this together. Sort of like a party.... well, without fattening food!!! ;)
Take care and am looking forward to checking out your progress.
Hugs,
Evie
