MauiGirl 555, I'm right there with you. It is scary. I've not only failed at every diet, but have regained more than I've lost every time. I'm not that worried about the weight loss aspect, I'm worried about long term commitment. Oh, just one cookie leads to three Cookies. One glass of wine leads to two. One day of missed exercise leads to a week off. But I have my head in the game, I'm learning all I can, I'm gathering support. This is necessary and I will do it.

Me too. I need a general clearance for surgery from my GP, one more visit with the surgeon in early Feb., then all insurance requirements will be met. I am just under 40 BMI so won't be automatic approval, but I have a couple of other issues (hypertension and arthritis) so I hope I get approved. Then a major work commitment at the end of Feb., and I'm hoping for an early March date.
