    Hi!

    Sorry no one has responded to this for a week. Very sorry to hear about your losses. How is your weight doing now? I had osteo-myelitis from a staph infection I contracted in hospital. Luckily it does not cause me too much of a problem now. Is yours expected to cause fewer issues if you lose weight? I notice you are in a wheelchair in your picture. Is this something that is due to the trans myelitis if you don;t mind me asking.

    Are you trying to log your food or just eat 'healthier"? Portion control is a big part of losing weight as is trying to make food selections that are good to keep you full but are not very calorie dense (and are also tasty).

    Are you able to exercise at all?
