Hi Fence, PM me if you can. I can help with the weight issues if you would allow. I have many tricks I can offer you. Keep in touch my friend, I am here for you. I lost 65 and still struggle, but I kept it off for the most part for the last 4 years. Hope you get other tips here. I am inactive as you know, so there are some things I can tell you about that got me under control. ginnie
