Hi Penny,
Thanks for your response! I was worried at first when you said you were
still gaining...but was happy to read that you were able to lose the
weigh. Congrats! How long were you on the lupron for before returning
to WW?
I too am returning to WW...and working out...hopefully it will all
balance out soon! Your message was very encouraging! Thanks!
