JIBBIE49 Glad to see you back. I joined in '07 as well, at a horrible 214# and I'm at 135# thanks to a good doctor. I'm 70. My mother died from a heart attack when I was 17, so I know what you dealt with. But I never started smoking like she did. I was a Senior in H.S. and not one kid had any sympathy for me. One girl said "What did you expect, she was 58 years old." That was ancient to them.
Go to Youtube and listen to an interview my doctor gave;
