    1 lb loss for me re yesterday's weigh in.

    Definitely easier to lose weight and keep it off in the summer.

    Jenny sorry you're not well. I think you can get medication to help but it has to be caught early to work. Does Calamine lotion work, I remembered being covered in it for chicken pox, also oatmeal baths again for chicken pox

    Have you had the vaccine to avoid it a third time?
