    awesome! Some more about your diet. When you said you cut out processed sugar what are some examples. Did you eat any sugar?

    06mommy87 - I gave up all processed sugar. So, no sugar, corn syrup, corn starch etc. I ate a lot of vegetables a very little fruit (sugar, albeit natural). I also steered clear of fruit juice - some of them have as much sugar as soda!
    The closest thing I had to sugar was dairy - no milk, but I did have a serving of non-fat greek yoghurt with splenda to sweeten almost daily. I also used the yoghurt for desserts when I was craving sweets. It's a good alternative!

    Is it possible to be overwhelmingly proud of someone you don't know? I can't tell you how excited I am for you.

    Maybe a bit personal, but I was left wondering....is Jackie now a long-distance love interest or just a friend? Either way, how she helped you sounds awesome.

    What a touching and happy story! Congratulations to you, it took lots of will power and hard work. You DID something about being overweight and unhealthy, most people just complain, you have given me courage to DO IT all the way this time!,
