I haven't really had a chance to read or respond this week. The secrets to everyone's success are virtually the same. Protein, Water, Exercise and Support. No matter how much you hate food right now you still need to get in your protein. No excuses, variety is important and there is enough different things you can try that will help you find the right mix. Keep yourself hydrated. Drink up it really is that important. Make sure you are exercising and each day should be a little bit more than the day before. And last come to the boards or your support groups and ask questions that will help to pull you along and beyond. Good luck on your journey and remember 17 lbs in 3 weeks is pretty awesome. When have you done that before? Denise
