Hi OB!! Welcome to a fabulously supportive and fun website!! You'll find a lot of us on here a lot!! Anyone would think I didn't work full time shiftwork!! Mind you that would explain why I'm on here at all sorts of weird hours!! Use MM to your advantage- it's fab for recipe ideas, checking syn values, motivational tips, just to let off some steam or get advice about anything at all, no matter how big or small- there'll be someone to help you and people who are in the same situation!! One word of advice though, and something I'm having to learn to do, is to NOT compare yourself to other people on here! You will see people here with incredible losses over quite a short space of time, and I must admit I occasionally feel that I'm doing something wrong, but it really is a very personal thing! I'm learning that I'm losing at a healthy and moderate rate for me, and I'm confident that eventually I'll get there! I'll do it slower than some, and quicker than others, but it'll be right for me when it happens!! I hope you really enjoy your new lifestyle! I've totally fallen in love with SW! I've never enjoyed my food so much in my life and it's such a great feeling never to have to go hungry, yet seeing the results and feeling the benefits of a so called 'diet'!! For the record, my hubby 18 weeks later has now had to accept that I'm totally obsessed and has stopped protesting!!!X
