DebPenny--

Thanks for your wise words, for they are indeed helpful and encouraging. I'm not concerned about the scale, though I like to see that number shrinking, more as a matter of principle now than of health. I'm looking to drop two more pounds JUST because I want to be under 160. I like that phrase, "under 160."

My wife (the other Cheryl R) is doing TSP now, but she hasn't yet gotten over her fear of fat. She didn't lose last week, but I reassured her that it doesn't mean TSP doesn't work. She accepts that intellectually. It will take time for her emotions to conform to her judgment, but it will happen.

Thanks again.

Sheldon
