16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? i joined a community back on 2002. Not specifically for weight loss, but everyone i met there was funny and encouraging. I ended up losing 25 lbs, but have gained 30 back in the last 2.5 years. :( I've been told its the curse of my promotion to office manager. Which it may be. the weight gain's coincided with the promotion.
