I'm at a bit of a loss...

When did this come about?  I mean, was there some sort of discussion, or whatever?

However, it does help a ton to have some support.  I need to lose (and keep off) 5-7 lbs. by May 18th, my next neuro-opthalmolagist appointment.  If I'm losing weight at a steady pace, my doctor will be able to lower my prescription dosage so that I'm not relying solely on the medication (it's that whole psuedo-tumor cerebri thing).

Good idea, whoever's this was!
