    Re: One year post-op and have 4-month stall

    Hi WarEagle, great job losing 80 pounds! That takes work. Losing more takes even more work. When you are heavier it takes more calories just to keep your body going during the day than when you...

    Thanks. I’ll check it out. My idea of gardening is to have a gardener. Much easier on my hands. Also supporting the local economy by shopping at farmers markets.
