Hello, I also just started today. I just got my book from Amazon after the book was recommended at a meeting. I admit haven't finished book but know I need support. Weight watchers 4x and diet roller coasters since 17. I'm 44 now and weigh 289 at 5 feet. Hoping this will be last resort and will win the battle of weight loss. Could definitely use friends who have lost successfully plus others like me who just started.
