I received a notice to respond but I am sure the message was for BeaBeau, who you responded to. But I'm writing anyway. I read you message and as soon as I saw the word "whilst", I knew you were British. Our folks say "eh?" at the end of everything, which proves they're Canadians.

I went thru menopause and was cranky for 2 years and ate everything. I too went on the patch, which was a godsend. Pls check out risks for the patch. Very important. I also had my thyroid checked and will take medicine the rest of my life.

I am paying attention to your advice on calorie count. I didn't think it meant very much on low card but looks like I'm wrong.
