Am joining this group. Need to lose about 20 pounds. I have lost weight in the past, and know how it works. At this point in life, it is harder to lose weight than it used to, and I need the accountability to stick with this. I will join in on the next weighing week. Thanks! :-)

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
