Thanks for the input!! Yes I have noticed that certain people have problem zones for weight loss. I will try some stretching - recently had some other information about that given to me. Inregards to the suggested remedy - please be less cryptic. Is that calcuim?? I am already on a daily regimen of 2 grams of time released C w/ bioflavinoids (although I have found that Pantothenic acid works better for me - but I am out) and 2 grams Calcium, 800 mg magnesium, 30 mg zing as a reccommended Asthma therapy - it works wonders. I am not familiar with the dosage term you used (as I said I am new to all this). Yes I am nursing. Iappreciate all your help!
