i have been going to ww for 1-2 yrs i don't remember. but when on pred for 5 wks i gained some back and then just gave up on dieting. i had a eureka moment the other day. i just don't care! i have had all kinds of things and one long term[20 yrs]gi disease. if it's rare i get it . in last 8 yrs alone i was in hsp 17 times! 12 were 4-6 wks each then 5 were 7-10 days each. nothing weight wise would have stopped the gi issue or mg . yes i would feel better if i didn't have to carry these extra 35 lbs which would be my ideal wght. but who cares? not me anymore!! i have to start immuan in fall which i refused now becuz i wanted to "enjoy summer"
