Congrats to you!!! When I read your post it suddenly hit me that I just reached Onederland too!! I weighed this morning and I'm down to 198. I can't remember when I was in the one hundreds. So keep up the good work and that's great about being off the meds. I wasn't on any to start with but I know it would have been just a matter of time. I'm 52 so it leaves the body a little slower but as long as it leaves. Alice From Dallas 11/10/04 285/198/?

Let's see... Taco Bell: bean burritos minus the tortilla, refried beans. I want a Fiesta Taco Salad so bad I could scream, but there isn't enough nutrition in it. I'm going to try a beef burrito pretty soon. Dairy Queen: the fried shrimp basket, husband gets fries, garbage gets the slaw, and it takes me 2 days to eat the shrimp Chinese restaurant (buffet style): sesame chicken, pepper steak, hot and sour soup, General Tso's chicken, egg rolls. I get just a piece or two of each entree, no rice, and mostly broth in the soup. Jack's: chicken fingers, small fries. For some reason I can eat Jack's fries but all the other fries are too heavy. I have to be careful to cut up everything into small bites or Pouch yells at me. Nothing real spicy either--I about died after I ate some Kung Pao chicken. Lorri

WHOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!! Way to go girl!!! You should feel happy about that! I know the feeling...I've lost 114 pds. since Nov. It's amazing how different I feel! Good for you going back to school, that's a wonderful accomplishment. Take care and keep us posted on your great weight loss! Karry 311/197/167 goal

We go to Mexican restaurants a lot there is one close by that is really authentic and I usually have a chicken taco(grilled chicken, chopped onions cilantro and jalpeno and tomato) minus the tortilla, or beans and cheese or a little of both and take the rest home for later. Another one, My DH ordered texas fajitas and I ate some of his chicken and shrimp and beans. At Red Lobster he ordered the ultimate feast, we used to get 2 of them, I had 3 shrimp, a bite of lobster, 3 crab legs, I ate a whole peice of bread just a pinch at a time. At wendy's it was chili. We went to captain D's the other day and I ordered the broiled fish and chicken lunch, it was good but I ate it for 3 meals, I ordered a baked potato instead of rice. It is so much fun to go out to eat now we usually get 1 plate and I just eat a little of his. And we save money!
