Hi mari

I'll put my hand up. I'm another fat person.. I'm a similar size to you and have a fair way to go but only another 12lbs to my next goal. I had a baby 11 months ago and that added another 60 lbs to my already large size.

I want to be thin enough to get back to work and get a good job (not what I'd think of as a 'fat persons' job - you know the sort, they give it to you when they cant get anyone else to do it. They accept that you're fat only because you're well and truly skilled enough to do the job). Maybe you've not had this experience but I have recently and it really began to get me down. Then you find yourself acting like a fat person....

Thank himself for low carbing! I've already stopped acting like a fat person and I intend soon not to look like a fat person ....

Anyway, we'll all get there together - even if I have to put up with all these d**n trekkies....

Nicola
