Thanks.It proves it can be done.It wasn't fast,but pounds like penny's do add up after awhile.Mine was more portion control and sticking with it no matter what.I did tv dinners with a green salad,no bread,and lots and lots of water.Those expensive diet dinners gave me the idea.Today's tv dinners,breakfasts,are low in calories,and nutritious.And cheap in price to buy.I can't buy groceries and cook for what I can buy tv dinners for.And for 3 1/2 yrs,my blood work has been spot on,where before we had to 'watch' everything'.And only takes a few minutes in the microwave.I wasn't hungry,ate what I wanted to.In moderation that is.And it had about a 90 pound pay off now.My clothes and panties,and bra's are swimming.I pick them up and can't believe I wore them.When I broke the 200 mark,I was happy.But to be about 35 to 40 pounds lower,is even better.So should give everybody hope and determination,that if I did it,you certainly can too.And I can't exercise due to disability issues,so do use red hot peppers dried like at pizza place,sprinkled on my food.It speeds up metabolism,and burns fat.And I don't use a lot,it don't take much and you start sweating all over!.So,if your in that shape too,try it.It's cheap,easy to do,and stay on it,you'll drop pounds off too.It was a life style change for me.It's taken 3 yrs or so,but the 100 pound mark is in my sites,I'm reaching for it.Haven't got there yet,and if I do mess up,I get back on an keep going.As there is times I fall off.Like 3 mo. ago,15 pound gain from cake my neighbor gave us.I had to make 4 more because it was sooo good.Then I saw 15 pound gain,and went,oooowww,not good.Was at 160,then 175,then last month 160 again,then 8 pound gain so am at 168,now.So,I really need to get a hold of myself and continue on and get back on track,and stop this teetering thing I'm doing.Guess I'm not focused enough,I need to get re-focused and stay focused.So,good luck to you too.I already know,it can be done,because I'm doing it. And you can do it too.With all of us proding,and scolding,and bragging,and helping one another out,there's no reason why all of us can't make some sort of head way this month.Your not alone here,we are all in the same boat together,and together,we are all going to as Mary say's "Let the skinny girls out!"
