I was hoping that once I quit my restaurant job, I would magically lose about 50 pounds. But so far that has yet to happen.

Once we get back on our feet financially, I’m going to start concentrating on losing some of those extra pounds. I’ve considered trying one of the free trial deals on the hoodia patch. I don’t know how long it takes to start losing weight with it, but at least I could see if I was going to have any side effects from it before I buy.

I also plan to start walking, but I don’t know where yet. It’s hilly around my house, which would normally be a good thing. But my knee hurts pretty badly when I walk uphill, so I need to find somewhere a little flatter to walk.
