Thanks for the boost. My sirits are low anyway because I can't reconcile my month end figures. The consultant is due here any minute and I don't need to be depressed about anything extra.

I did chick with my pharmacist this morning and he assures me that the medications I take do not hinder weight loss -- not that I believe him. At least my BP meds are not the dreaded Beta blockers or diuretics -- something else. It's just gotta be my age that causes my body to cling to these extra pounds. I'll hang in there 2 more weeks, but I'm going to cut the portion sizes too and step up exercise.

Don't cut back too much, if you start feeling hungry and miserable you might fall off the wagon completely. Drink lots of water, breathe deep, and ... you do feel better on the diet even without seeing official results yet, don't you? I did. I didn't get the shakes 3 hours after eating, didn't get weak and sweaty when the sugar low hit... is it like that for you too?
