  • Thanks for doing this, Brandy. I am Beth from MA, primary care physician. After losing more than 70 lbs, I have regained about 25 due to work stress, and now am struggling to get back in the "zone." Hopefully this "one week at a time" approach will help.

  • This group doesn't appear to be very active, but I thought I would introduce myself and see if anyone else is interested in actively posting. My name is Beth, and I am older than most of you (55), married with 6 children and 5 grandchildren, chief medical officer of a large community health center in MA, and on the faculty…
