Thanks Jiggly, I've been really watching my fat intake keeping it to 25 - 30 grams per day and also watching my starches. I tried to keep my starch (pasta, bread, potatoes, etc..) to one a day, but that was not realistic for me so I am trying 2 a day. If I have a starch at breakfast then it's veggies and protein at lunch and maybe 1/2 a potato at dinner or a very small portion of pasta... Upping my workouts has really helped too. I'm going to the gym 5 or 6 days a week... doing a lot of cardio... I know I need to start weight training to define and tone, I start that this week... This site has helped the most with journaling everything I eat and keeping track of my water... Oh and a lot of praying that I keep doing it...LOL... I'm amazed most of all that I'm 6 weeks in and still gung-ho and enjoying myself....
