Shelley;
Today is your BIG day!!! By now, you are probably on the "other side" of the weight loss issue!!! I can relate to you so well, I am 51 yrs old, from Saginaw, Mi., and have autoimmuine diseases, I had surgery on 9-05-01, and have lost 64 pounds!!! Soon, you will be posting numbers too!! You are in my thoughts and prayers, email me anytime you need too!!! ((((((HUGS)))))
