Thanks Rabbit. It seems I just go thru a monthly cycle of a high and low. This week is begins my high. All I can suggest is stay with it and wait for the low to pass. I try not to use my exercise points but I usually end up using a couple of them a day. I'm normally at the gym 1 1/2 hrs so I have a good appetite.

Lizzard - hooray for getting back on track. It is SO hard to do.
