Thanks so much for all your support guys.......it really has been getting me down. I'm going to reasses things and use some of your advice. I was thinking about the increasing calories part.......but my hunger on a good day only seems to accomodate about 1800 calories and a bad 1300. I drink so much water that I feel full most of the time. But........I'm not giving up. I'll just make some more modifications and keep modifying until I get it right.
