Re: Survey. Anyone interested in sharing eating/exersize habits?

[Guest guest]

Jean,

My heart breaks for you. I had a break down the other day about my hair,

it is soooo thin and I can't do anything with it. I'm heading out to go

cut it all off. I've lost weight, but I'm still 15 pounds from where I

want to be. I've lacked in motivation to exercise so I'm stuck. Hang in

there, we are all in this together. I pray this doctor will be the right

one for you.

Take care!!!
