Well, I tried to send Dotsie a private message asking about the diet forum, but was told her mailbox was full and to try again later. If I wait, I won't. I'll let it go. So I'm going to slip my message in here, and hope she'll see it. I hope that's okay.

Dear Dotsie,

I was wondering if I might join the Diet Forum. I don't know what it's all about, but I'd like to try it. I weigh 180 now and my goal for the new year is to lose 30 pounds by December 31st, 2006. That's not unreasonable, is it? A little bit more than a half pound a week?

Anyway, please let me know what I'd need to do to join in.

Thanks,
Flo
