Today, a warm welcome to a new Blog Friend, who is undertaking a couragous and obstacle-filled journey - if he and you dear readers will excuse the cliches.

This morning I woke up very early and came across this first post

http://PlusSizedWonder.blog.co.uk/

He plans to lose weight.

And before I am reprimanded by soy and others for being anti-chubby-ist, I think PlusSizedWonder would be the first to point out that, at 25 stone, he needs to weigh a bit less. In fact he points this out wittily and honestly in his first post.

So far -as far as I can tell - I am the only person who has visited his site.
