Hey. Just a word of encouragement. Let's think about how long... how many years it took us to gain the weight. So be patient. It will come off. Stay busy. That is what I do. Also I keep telling myself all of the years it took me to gain and I know that this will happen for us all but it is going to take some time. M.Y.

Thanks .. for the encouragement .. I have to admit the one positive thing that is comming from all this is i don't need my diabetic meds .. yeah!!!!!!!!!! Goal one met already I feel .. my diabetes is controlled something I was not sure it would happen so fast... Be well Lisa
