Hi K!D,

COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - or emphysema. I am 75 but not too frisky! (I am on oxygen 24/7). I finished my rehab today and have lost 18# of body fat, however I still weigh the same. They say it is now muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

The director of the rehab place gave me a low carb diet that she received a few days ago while attending some kind of conference. I think more and more people are recognizing the value of low carb!

I get books on tape (or cd) from the library, buy used ones online (and then resell), etc. I use a Walkman for cassette tapes or a portable CD player for CDs. When I can afford it I would like to get an IPod as I understand you can download books to it - all this technology is so confusing!

Due to circumstances beyond my control I was not able to start my low carb life this week as planned - now Saturday is my target date.
