I was to the doctor the other day and he thoroughly scared me, so I went on a diet. I'm down 12 pounds in 3 weeks. It isn't easy to lose weight when you like food. Something to be proud of! Then I got my blood work back(thought I had Lyme Disease) found out I had a hypothyroid condition. No wonder I was getting fat! Keep losing the weight Bob, hopefully others will take your lead and get down to a healthier weight as well.
