I just want to say thank you so much to all of you for the support and encouragement everyone has provided. It helps when you don't feel so alone in your pursuits.

I haven't abandoned ship... I didn't drink coffee today to see if the absence of caffeine helps. I'm going to track how much water I'm drinking because I have definitely increased beyond my norm. I'm going to go back to the gym today just because it's good for me. Does constipation impact weight loss/gain? I'm a pretty "regular" person and whenever I LC, the plumbing gets clogged. Will try to address this, too. I've decided to try some adjustments before I declare this program as "not working for me."

Again, I appreciate your suggestions and caring. It means as much to me as .. everything.

Hope4me (there really is!)
