> jimYes 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.
