Well, I am also on the diet thing. I think it has finally sunk in that I NEED to lose weight. I would like to see my kids grow up. My doctor has put me on a BP medicine, but says I don't have a bp problem, I have a weight problem. Lose weight and you won't need the medicine anymore. I started after that visit on June 28th and I am down 31 pounds! A good friend of mine put it very simply "eat less, burn more" (he lost 85 pounds 3 years ago and still has it off)
