Hey Yall, I am retaining fluid this week and I have been doing the Lemon Water thing and I think it is helping. Is there anything else I can take or do? I was thinking about pulling out my Dandelion Root Caps. Any suggestions? Oh, it is the ending of that time of the month for me as well. Adrienne

Hi Emily Mine are Eggs Cheese Fish(orange roughy, and flounder) Grilled Chicken Broccoli Adrienne

1 large slice of onion only has about 3 grams of carbs, and they're healthy carbs. All veggies are, except your starchy veggies like corn and peas and potatoes.

Currently I like: Nuts Chili Flounder (baked) Chicken Tenders (Shake N' Bake) Cantalope or Grapes I was on a strawberry kick for a while, but the cantalope replaced it last week. Still NO sugar stuff or few carbs. Oh ya... Fresh steamed broccoli or green beans are fabulous... corn on the cob mmmm mmmm mmmm Judy

Hi Tanya, First of all great job on your weight loss! I can't believe how much difference 6 months has made. I just wanted to add that I go to goodwill once in a while and look for clothes. If I see something too small now I go ahead and buy it because I know if will fit at some point. I also look for the color of the tag that is half price. It's so nice to get a pair of Liz Pants or shorts for $1.50. I'm also finding that the smaller sizes usually look brand new. My closet has turned into an array of close from everything down to 8's. It's so fun to go in and try a smaller size that didnt' fit two weeks or month ago and it does now! Good luck to you! Cheryl H 10/13/03 RNY Dr. Jones 260/171/?
