How Many LBS Have You Lost **progress report**

Oh my! I thought I was doing great... I have lost the least - I know it's not a competition, but still... 1. Surgery date: June 9, 2006 2. Lost 46.5 LBS (from 246.5) 3. Main source of protein - cheese, eggs and meat. 4. Water - some days really good (64oz) and then others only 16oz - 24oz. 5. + 6. Vitamins - I forget. Hardly take them. I tried putting the Flintstones in my pill box with my other daily pills but they absorb moisture and become moist. Definitely I need to improve. Effi
