Thanks loads, guys, for all the info--

I will look for tree resin product, thanks Doreen--I'll look into that--I'm getting so discouraged with all this stuff--I have just settled down to eating 2 organic eggs for breakfast and really enjoying them as well as eating loads of red meat--I find farmed fish yucky and don't like chicken that much--but I like thighs [avoid according to "Paleo" guy, sigh] all of it is SO expensive--I can get "fresh" tuna but can't bear to eat it in front of the family as I can't afford it for us all

Do have major prob with excema or some skin crud docs don't agree on what it is but it's been with me since I was 18 when I left maternal bosom to be released into the wild and get a job in the big city [Boise Idaho!].

I wonder if heart and liver have the same effect as other red meat--"Paleo" guy says they are lower in fat--have a source of organic meat but don't want to buy loads in if arachnid whatever acid is a problem with me--

I guess I could try pollock which I can get frozen and is pretty cheap--I could cut red meat down to lamb once a week, as it is our one family gettogether meal in the week.

I just get settled down with cutting out yet ANOTHER avoid for me and find the foods I AM eating are having some adverse effect

I have had the fish oil for ages in the cupboard and bought some flax seed oil the other day so will dump the fish oil and get on to the flax oil instead

I know I sound like a whining Winny and it's no good NOT working with your own body, but this is a major thing with me I guess

I'm hoping to get some relief from a holistic doctor--just made an appointment, could only get in in 6 weeks' time to see if she can do something about my menopause symptoms--maybe I'll cheer up--

Anyway--I'll go to doc to get BP checked and THEN do egg and red meat fast until next monthly checkup and see if things improve--THEN go back on red meat and eggs for month and see if BP goes up THEN I will know I guess

Can't tell you how much help means, guys--you are all real stars

I KNOW I CAN BEAT THIS WEIGHT THING somehow and I just want you to know that you all have been major in me getting this far--so I can't thank you enough--

Now just messed up about doing induction as I was eating LOADS of red meat and fatty chicken

Felt a lot better doing WW detox first week which is white meats and fish so maybe will go back to that without dairy or eggs [sigh] and get in some fresh tuna and try that for a week to see if weight starts going down again.

I'LL BE BACK

Love ya all loads
