What a sweet surprise--my physician is thrilled with my weight loss. My blood pressure is down, already! I hadn't previously understood the impact of even a small loss of weight and a good exercise program. So yea for diet and exercise!
On the other hand, I've been waging a war against depression with diet and exercise and I've lost the battle. I need meds so we're trying one without a reputation for weight gain. Time will tell. I don't think I've failed, because I've learned from all of you that I just need to take small steps, pay attention, and change the things that don't work.
Thanks for helping me get this far.
