Hello everyone, I'd first like to say what an awesome site this is! I can't think of anything more important on this journey than positive support and others willing to share their experiences.

Just a little about me: I'm 33 years old, divorced, with one son, live in Houston TX. I've attended Dr Spiegel's seminar here, and am researching other Houston dr's, but in the mean time learning as much as I can about what to expect.

I'm at 250 lbs now and feel pretty miserable. Since junior high I've battled my weight, but since my son was born (8 yrs ago!) I have continued to gain. I've had some small successes with fad diets but as you know, it all comes back and then some! When I buy clothes I'm tired of kidding myself, I'm tired of being tired - if you know what I mean?!

I'm having difficulty with uploading my pic from my computer, but once I figure this out you'll me able to see my gorgeous mug!!

thanks a bunch

Karla

I just resized your photo so hopefully this one works. I sent it to your email address.

well, I'm stumped! I was not able to load my Avatar (error mssg says it's larger than the 50x50 min pix)... I have it loaded under my profile and if it were any smaller, you'd need a magnifying glass!

any suggestions?
