For Lunchladydebbie

I am not able to reply to your post due to a problems with this board, so hope you see this one.

I know you will be much healthier and happier with a twenty pound or so of weight loss. I personally do not attempt to lose weight during the holiday season. I do go on a diet in January and work on getting to where I want to be when the swimming pool opens in June.

I am very happy with one or two pounds a week in weight loss. I use a smart scale because I need to know how water, bone density, muscle weight, and fat content are changing as I lose.

I am very happy with one or two pounds of loss a week. I do My Fitness Pal for most of the year and sign up for something else in January. Last year it was Weigh****chers, this year will probably be the same. I love their zero point selection and that I can eat any food as long as I track the points.

Doesn't sound like goal weight ( and most importantly great health ) is in any way unachievable. We can guide U thru the bit defiency issues ... the gut bacteria ( probiotic) help ... yes you will lose the excess weight if you eat ok and move (((())))
