Hi guys! Further, I thought your email was hilarious! But then I know that having loose skin is no laughing matter, I just think your take on it was a great line!

With this back pain, excercise is very difficult, except for swimming. I only get an opportunity to do that about twice a month, so I am trying to get with a walking, or in my case, "lurching" program.

Saw my doctor yesterday and he is still keeping me on muscle relaxers but gave me some steriods for the short term - just a couple of months and some mild pain pills to allow me to move about more and get off my butt!

I took that as a opportunity to complain about my slow weight loss on Atkins, so he siphoned off about 3 vials of blood for testing. Maybe that loss of blood will put me down about a 1/4 pound on the scale!! Hahahaha.

So, It will be good to know if I do have a thyroid problem. That would be an easy fix for this difficulty I am having losing weight. I can't even get into Ketosis after 5 months of strict induction.

Keep me posted on your endeavors! Lyda Rose
