Shiney Sue, I am so sorry to hear you are in the hospital. Here's hoping you are better very soon.

HeyJoe, I agree with moderation. Think about all the things put on this earth to nourish us, what our species has had available to eat -- in nature. It just makes sense to avail ourselves of many things in moderation. There's the catch for most of us....MODERATION! I have been watching my body (inspired by you, Melody!) and have lost 22 pounds. I have a goal of losing at least 35 more. I have been very heartened in this and in my new found walking program by many on this site. Now if our dang weather will just cooperate so I can get out to the park and walk!!!! Thanks to all of you.
