Overall I feel very positive; at least I know what I am dealing with. The weight has stayed off, in fact I have been eating like a horse and really haven't put on more than a pound or two - I am ngoing to the gym this weekend for the first time in almost a year - whew I have lost a lot of muscle mass... I mean a lot!

So my life has changed a bunch lately - it is quite a transition I have gone and continue to go through. Things are pretty good today 4/19/2011 :-)
