Finally had my call returned(and got a date too)! - I last called my patient navigator on August 8th(one month to the day after completing EVERYTHING).  As per usual, I get her voice-mail. I left a message again asking for a callbac...

Why are you doing this? - That was a question the nutritionist asked my group at meeting 5.  I heard all the standard answers: "to be healthy", " to look better", "to feel better", "to be around for my kids...
