Hi Everyone,

My name is Anush (pronounced ahnoosh). I'm new to the group and have

been lurking for the past few days. I've been listening to past

episodes of 's podcast on my morning and afternoon commutes.

I've been dealing with my weight my whole life. I just turned 50 and

I feel like I'm done. I'm actually even contemplating lap band

surgery but my insurance is requiring me to do 6 months of

a " supervised weight loss program " with my primary care physician and

a nutritionist. Since my doctor had nothing to suggest other than

weight watchers (which i've done countless times), and I'm waiting

for the approval of the nutritionist, I was downloading podcasts and

found 's IOWL.

Anyways, I wanted to say hi, and let you all know how inspirational

you are to me. And I saw the wife swap thing and feel terrible for

. I agree that things that were said were bad, but my religion

teaches us to forgive. They've apologized. I can't imagine how

difficult this all must be for them.

All the best,

Anush
