Hello new friends! I've been lurking and reading for awhile and would like to now participate in the community, thanks for having me! I got some reta from a friend of a friend type guy in september and then ordered a bit more through him recently but decided I loved it a needed to find my own source - made my first big girl online purchase today and am very excited about it. I am 43F, have gained a lost and gained again rather a lot of weight over the course of 5 kids and a busy life and now at a point that I'd really like to lose it for good. I started at 200lbs and have lost 22 in 10 weeks. My goal weight is 150 which feels pretty reasonable. anyway, enjoying the forum and hoping to hang around and learn more about all the things.
