Thanks for the update, DE. Nice to know things are starting to work out for you. If you run into a "magic pill" for the weight loss problem, be sure to post it! Mine creeps up a little at a time, no matter what I do. Like you, I think I can put a lot of it down to fatigue, and the inactivity it causes. I did lose a few pounds when I went on a gluten free diet after I discovered I'm gluten sensitive, but unfortunately, it has come back.
Hugs,
