Hello new family...how I came to be part of this amazing journey is a story in itself. I'm so glad to be here and hope I can be a help and inspiration to the team. Right now, 5 days in, this seems tooo simple and uncomplicated. I'm sure there will be mountains to climb and valleys to navigate. I'm ready, having been seduced by my own detours all my life before now. Here is to a great week for all of us. 
Welcome to the family, Finally!
And congrats on the 7 pound loss!
This lifestyle is very simple. That's one of the reasons why it is so effective.
You will enjoy the company you'll keep at this forum.
We are all here to help one another reach our goals.
Most all of us, at some point, have shared his/her "story". Something like Doug did in his book.
Doing this helps the rest of us not only know you better, but help you better as well!
Again... Welcome!
