Hi, new here

Hi,

I've been reading these forums for a few months now and finally decided to stop lurking. 
The plan I'm following is fairly strict and doctor supervised...that sounds kinda torturous but it isn't really.  lol

I started a few months ago and I'm down 28 pounds.  Still have a lot to go but I'm pleased with the results so far.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone!

hello! welcome to the boards! and grats on your loss so far!

Good for you!  Finding something that works for you is hard. But look at your outcome, that's fantastic.

Welcome to the board.

Twenty-eight lbs. is SUPER!!  Glad to have you. Brenda

Do tell what you are doing! And welcome.

Thanks for the nice welcome, I really like this site, so much information and it has really helped me keep my head on straight.  The first month of starting my plan I would come here many times each day to read and look at all the amazing before/after pictures. Neecee, I'm on 1,200 calories a day (but can go up 200 more calories if I need to due to reactive hypoglycemia ).  I use HMR products such as shakes, bars, soups, min meals, etc.  And then for dinner I have lean protein and vegetables.  I drink a lot of water and exercise six days a week.  The HMR products are not extremely low  in carbs so I average about 90 carbs a day. Today I had meal 1: 200 calorie protein shake meal 2: 160 calorie protein bar meal 3: 70 calorie protein soup meal 4:  HMR mini meal -  Five bean casserole (230 calories) meal 5:  160 protein shake meal 6:  Dinner - chicken breast & salad (300 calories) meal 7: 1/2 serving protein pudding (50 calories) Total calories: 1,170 PS: I'm now down 30.5 lbs
