Hey Christine, I had surgery 10-26-04 and I have lost 39#'s. I go for my 3 month check up on Friday. I am kinda scared about what the doc might say to me. I have been doing everything correctly, except the exercise. I really need to get my butt in gear. Rhonda

Sounds yummy... Once a week I go get all my stuff for the next week so I will have it on hand. I havent seen those lattes here. Maybe soon. Have you tried the Body For Life Low Carb Coffee Shakes.. THey are pretty good too...

I have only had about 30 ounces. I bought 2 pounds of crawfish and me and my daughter ate them. From the best I can tell from the internet... 1 pound makes about 3.5 ounces of actual edible meat. So I guestimated that I had about 5 ounces or so. Today I went to get gas and walked in the store to pay and FUNYUNS were staring me in the face. I picked them up and a regular grab bag of funyuns had 45 CARBS and 350 empty calories in them. I put them back down and grabbed a beef jerky! I am so proud of me for not being weak to them funyuns... Howd yall do today?

Deborah - Thanks for this post...it made me smile. It also helped me to realize that I should be counting that as a wow moment! I didn't think I'd had one yet. BUT...the other day - I thought I was losing my mind. I just couldn't get comfy in bed. It felt like big bones knocking together at the knees. I was trying to sleep on my side (like I have for years). I just couldn't stand those knee bones. I've also found the sheets bunched up under me to be uncomfortable!! I use to be able to sleep on the remote and not notice. Everyone keeps telling me I look like I'm losing weight - I can't see it. But thanks to this post I guess there is no denying it. Thanks!! Karla -70 (it blows my mind to see that number)

C_ I agree with Christine that you are you doing fine! From everythnig I have read that is right among the averages. I also have learned that the more you have to lose the faster it comes off...in the beginning that is. So for me, I started at 383 and amd down 60 poundsish. Keep up the good work....you are doing AWESOME!!! Kat
