 <description>&lt;p&gt; Thank you for the encouraging words (I need all I can get).  It is a long battle but I know I can do it and having places like this to share my story with makes it all worth it.  Please visit me at my blog and any comments are welcome.  I look forward to hearing from you again.  I like your blog also I look forward to coming back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mara&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hi Mara</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/new-here-5#comment-44071</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome!  And good luck to you on your twenty-four step journey.  I know &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.megansminute.com/2007/11/the-cupcake-pot.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;how tough it can be&lt;/a&gt; as I&#039;m struggling with losing weight as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stay positive and don&#039;t let the inevitable setbacks get you down. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Megan&lt;br /&gt;
