Normally, I don't pay much attention to typos--this one just seemed humorous to me. No insult intended--and none taken, I'm sure.

Internet posts are supposed to be conversation, and most of us don't go around correcting people's spoken grammar. If we did, we'd soon be out of the conversation completely! (experimenting with my newfound smilie skills)

well, i work as a web designer, so i'm quite accustomed to my typos being pointed out and don't mind in the least. one of my clients even suggested that i make some intentionally, just so we would have the joy of visiting more often.

I will be eligible in March! I will definitely register in March when I get to the 30lb mark...since I took it off and have kept that off since then! How exciting! You go Goddess!

I'm delighted to see the interest in the Registry.

When you consider the statistics--often quoted in the media--of how unsuccessful the bulk of the population (pun intended) has been in achieving, let alone maintaining, a significant weight loss, it's time for us really good losers to, um, weigh in.

Only one of the proven benefits of low-carb is how sustainable it is over time. We learn that weight maintenance is no cinch--except in the belt. Commitment counts. The Registry is proving the importance of that with its continuing collection of data.

I see it as an expression of hope.
