We are indeed fortunate to have Dr Park visit our community and share his knowledge about how the lack of sleep can affect our appetite and weight.
After reading his article this morning, I posted a thread in the WL&D community where you can find the link to his article, "Can The Recession Make You Fat?" Some of our teammates have added comments there and hope you will consider doing the same on all the threads.

Personally, this has been very enlightening and I am going to make an attempt to start trying to get some more rest. I have been holding fairly steady, up and down within the same few pounds, but not really losing as I had hoped. I've also been sleeping 4-6 hours a night and I am taking note of the correlation Dr Park mentions.
Think I should start a sleep tracker and track my hours of sleep and compare it to my weight tracker. This is just another tool for us in our continued effort to lose weight, take better care of ourselves and be healthier.
A big thank you to Dr Park for sharing his expertise and to MedHelp for providing the tools, forums and communities that aid us in our efforts.
And, thank YOU .. community members .. for being so courageous and always being so supportive, caring, and encouraging to each other. None of this would be possible without YOU!
WE CAN DO THIS ... TOGETHER !!!
