Just to clear something up. You may have notice I mention how I use “My Physician and dietitian” a lot. I go to the V.A. for the MOVE program once a week. MOVE is like weightwatcher, but for Veterans. We have Health Care provider who is in charge and explain how our weight effects us medicaly, a dietitian for proper meal guidance, a consular who has a degree in motivating people, and our excerise specialist.

They are the ones that got me to lose the 34 lbs and I continue to go there for that extra support. I even mention to them how much this site has helped me and that for the first time since I started the MOVE program, I am finally keeping track of what I eat and do for exercise.

If there is any other Vets out there that is interested, you can check it out online at http://www.move.va.gov/

    That is awesome John. My dad is a vet but I am not sure he is quite that serious about his weight as of yet. However I will keep that in mind. At some point I think he will be. He spends several days a week going to different appointments and moving around is difficult for him.

    Keep up the good work.:drinker:
