well i did my first weigh in this morning and i really thought i messed up. but i did not. I can prouduly say that i lost 3 pounds. this week and i feel great. Thanks to you all i find the encouragement i need and the advice i can use so thanks to each one of you for that. I also went and made a ticker and i pasted it to my signiture but the only thing that comes up is the site address not the actual picture. also for the little picture i can put under my name it will not let me unlock it. i clicked on it but the button for not using one will not go away. thanks again every one
