Thank you for your reasonable comments. Since I joined through September, I will go to the meetings. It does help, although secretly I'll be turning away from free fruit, and using My Fitness Pal to count calories, not points. I will need your support through my process of going back to low carb, which I successfully lost 20 lbs. several years ago and kept it off. Now I'm on a drug that can make me gain weight, so low carb is even more important. You can't imagine how much I appreciate your replies on this forum! Thank you!
