Thanks everyone! I was going to a weight loss center and following a very low calorie diet. After 45 days on that, you go on a maintenance phase for 3 weeks, then gradually add in other foods. I will need to go through the very low calorie diet again as I have more to lose, but probably not until summer. So, the good news for you guys is that I won't win the monthly challenge next month! I will be happy to keep this weight off, for sure! The maintenance phase is low carb with no grains, starches, sugars, or sweets. Thx for the purples! I don't have a lot of them in my stash so these will add variety I need. Good luck next month!
