Hi Patty!

I am so glad you are here! You can definitely get what you are looking for in this community....but it does start with commmitting to doing step one! hee hee. No way around that one! . But we are all here to support you!!

Have you joined step one list on the yahoo groups yet?

I see that you are interested in weight loss too. Did you know we have a fabulous program called "Your Last Diet" that Kathleen has created to do just that--support you in weight loss? I'm a part of it and I have to say it is fabulous and yes, I have lost weight on this program and feel good in body (which is the best part!).

So excited you are here.
