Hi Doctors, I am a retired educator from NJ.  Now I am a professional grammy of a 2 and 3 year old.  I love my new job, however it's a bit tiring.  You'd think I'd be skinny running around after them, not.  I am the wife of a musician and am home alone a lot.  This causes watching TV and munching.  I have good walking friends, however the snow is keeping us in.  I bought the 17 day diet book for my two daughters and myself.  We are on day three of the first part.  We support and encourage each other.  I am having fun cooking for them with the book's recipes.  One of them stated they hated cabbage, but ate two bowls of the vegetable soup, later complaining she was full.  Well I'm looking forward to working along with you all.  By the way, my husband has the Doctor's on every day for both of us to learn healty living.  I am also a very big Dr. Phil fan.  Good luck to all of us.  Bonnie
