Well, I'm past the 3 month mark now and how my life has changed! I am able to walk 3 miles comfortably even in the Texas heat and I work out every day. I enjoy life so much more now that I'm not obssessed with food. I've lost 54lbs so far - had my share of stalls and always seem to find that increasing my water intake or adding a protein drink works for me.

I'm still having a problem uploading photo's anywhere. On the custom avatar, I browse & it shows the file location but when I click on save, it just sits there & when I check back later nothing loaded. On the profile side, it says to click & drag. I have 4 pics and although I click & hold it will not let me drag. I get that 'circle' with a slash through it. Any techies out that have some tips? Thanks!!!

I've been reading the posts on pain, etc. & since I just had a total knee replacement done in February I'm thinking I'll probably be ok handling the paid. However, I am a newlywed and I seriously concerned about how to handle the odiferous gas. Is there anything you can take to make it a little better? I sure don't want to have to sleep in the guest room if I'm grossing out the room with odor.
