hi okpolosi!

great to hear back from you!

(?)

> Yes I do take a truckload of all kinds of supplements. And I have been to the DR and everything checks out OK. He said it would be a concern if I continue to lose, and suggested I eat better (which I already knew). I really have not lost more than the 10lbs, which came off through week 9, (now at 4mos.), so I think my weight has stabilized.

i really do appreciate your reassurances, and Congratualtions on your (healthy!) weight loss....
and your plan to eat better ..... (yeah!)

(i'm being cheerleader today (!)... can you tell? (!!)! ... sorry!) !!

tonight i am going to write down what all i am taking supplement-wise,
and post it here and see if folks want to compare notes.

you made my day by letting us know you're not any kind of internal-medicine-like ill .... and i thank you!

Thanks!
~ jim
