  • @capewrathultra Don't be so hard on yourself! You were doing fine up until Thanksgiving, and all of us are up a couple pounds due to that, so whatever you do, don't quit. Move on with us to the next round and give yourself time to figure out what works for you. I can tell you one thing I know for certain from personal…

Keep it going! @capewrathultra I hope your blood pressure settles down after you take your meds (that's an assumption on my part, of course, that you are on them).
