Dear Dmom, this is to send encouragement. I was at your weight for most of my life. You can do this If I can. I got down to 127 which was too thin, and now balance between 135 and 140. a far cry from what I was. Just keep trying, don't give up. I never was able to do it before either, tried all my life. I kinda eat like Bizi does, some good points from waves too. Try all the time to eat fresh, and little meat. I just want you to know, that all your goals can be met. You are in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
