Hi MJD,I ran across your post in a group I just joined, and thought I'd drop a quick note. Congratulations on your 30 pound weight loss! Today is my 2nd day in the two contests I joined. One is a quick start and the other runs until the end of April . I'm excited about this interesting way of losing weight! Have you found this to be a helpful way to lose weight?Cathy

Thank you so much for the information.
