I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of the NEW people who have been participating
in our group lately.
It's nice to have you here.
(some have shown up and been PPRd 
but a few have been genuine and stayed)
I look forward to reading more from each of you.
all the best in 2013

Please, all, do share your successes, struggles, ideas - weight loss is a journey, that's for sure. here's to a great 2013 to us all!
(as to the PPRd ones, I think they were mostly spammers who just chose this place at random for the most part...).
In January I will be embarking on my third year post-January 2011 commitment to finally lose weight and get healthy - Jan 2011 258 (I am 56, male, 6 feet)....by June or July 2011, at 210. Recommitted (went vegan for a month, joined a gym) in Jan 2012, hit a low of 196 summer 2012. Here we are late Dec 2012, the holiday foods and winter (no gardening!) have me at 202-ish......will recommit just after New years Day 2013 with a goal of hitting 190 by summer 2013 and keeping that as my maintenance weight.
Am willing to share everything that has worked (and not worked as well) for me....so ask!
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
