I don't use sugar so I am ahead already. I am not allowed any grains at this time. Need to lose at least 60 lbs. Want to get back down to a size 16, which is what I was 2 years ago. Currently a size 20 and it is depressing. On a good note, I put my jeans on and HAD to wear a belt and guess what. I put it down two notches. Whoooohoo
