Pema:

I live in Florida, USA and I just recently joined the Metabolic Balance
program. I had about 25 pounds to lose, but more important, I want to
lower my cholesterol. I was looking everywhere for a group to join of
others on the MB program. There is a forum in Germany, but the
translation to English is not very good. I'm glad I found you.
However, you don't seem to have any other people interested in the
group. I would think that others would want to share their experience
and get support. At least we could ask each other questions and maybe
find some recipes.

I am finding that I am very full and I am even looking for more dense
vegetables so that I don't have to eat such a big plate of salad greens
with my protein. I have even bought smaller apples today, as I have
just been too full. I never before ate Mangos and Papayas, but they are
on my fruit list, so I tried them and I like them.

It will be nice to have a diet buddy, even if you are a long, long way
from me. I hope you are still on the MB program and have lost the
weight you wanted to lose. Was it hard over the holidays? I started 2
days after Christmas, so I stayed away from parties on New Years eve.

Well, if you wouldn't mind, I will give the address of this group to
some of the people in my MB diet location and they might join the group,
too. We need to get this group going for support.
