Glad to hear you made it through surgery well Cindy, and I hope your recovery goes well and with speed for you. :-)
I know one of the ladies mentioned if we cook differently for our families. Currently my husband is altering his diet to lower his triglycerides and his weight, and I am trying to lower my weight too. So, we have been trying to alter our meals for the whole family to healthier choices.
We have been eating meatless meals a couple of days a week (with alternative protein), and when we do have meat we have fish, chicken, or turkey. He's dropped 24 lbs so far, and I'm down 11 total. We both have salads for lunch most of the week, and a decent breakfast.
I think the hardest part for me was kicking the sugar habit, since most of my snacks were sugary. I can't wait until I can move down a size in clothing. How much weight loss does it take to change clothing sizes?
Keep up the good work ladies!
