3) Metformin HCL - one piece after every meal, for diabetes
4) Sodium Bicarbonate - one piece after breakfast
5) Depakote - one piece after breakfast, one piece after dinner, mood stabilizer

Good news, bad news, and bad news.
Good news: I'm "down" to 139 lbs. after staying at 140 lbs. for days.
Bad news: My BMI (body mass index) says I'm still obese and would have to shed 8 pounds to be in the overweight level.
Bad news: I have to be 109 lbs. to be in the normal weight level. That's a whopping 30 lbs. from where I am now. Oh no!
