Micki -- wow, what an amazing ordeal. But even more amazing is whatever you did to get yourself there! How did you lose weight? I've never heard of 8 or 9 X. And now you're into 18's? That's gotta be an incredible feeling.

GOOD FOR YOU.

It's gotta be a bit humiliating to go through what you're doing, but you're gonna feel beeter afterward, I bet. You are an inspiration.

They were talking about diets in another section of the forum. This is the first I saw your name. What was your route?

Quitting smoking -- losing weight -- moving out of hurtful relationships -- these are all highly charged and truly challenging experiences everyone is going through and it's wonderful you all have one another to share these trials with through these forums.

Thanks to Dotsie for starting it and to everyone for participating.
