Guest guest Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Hi Beth, please let us know when you finally hit that 2 digit milestone! I reckon all the people who don't have the courage to make an outing should all jump in the deep end together!! Good luck to you also in your continued journey Y xx Re: If it is OK I would just like to share... Hello I just read your message. How fantastic is your loss. I am waiting for that first major milestone of two digits but at the moment 100-01 keeps hanging around I can relate tto your shyness comment. I am too shy I feel to just turn up for one of these Sydney outings so I use these websites as the next best thing to hear how people with the same experiences to let me know I am not alone. Good luck with your continued journey.
