First: for weight control is medical evaluation. There's been ONE case in which I found a new medical issue. There are about 1 a day in which a previous medical problem (like thyroid) has influenced weight. SO... KNOWN thyroid would be first thing. Calorie count next, seeing what habits contribute and then dealing with them. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0692496157/
