  • I tossed the all the white stuff... white flour, white sugar, white rice, white potatoes, etc. Also decided to go whole hog and tossed the sweetened drinks too. I thought I had a brain tumor the first 2 weeks because of the withdraw/detoxing, but I pushed through it and feel great now, Sorry, I know that was more than "one…

  • Having some issues with the consequences of losing the most weight I've ever lost Yeah, it's a GREAT thing to feel good & healthy, but now I'm seeing a turkey neck and other excess skin that just hangs.

  • Feel free to add me as well. I've been overweight most of my adult life. I've dropped quite a bit of weight and have about 20 pounds to go.

  • Please add me. I hate my profile pic. Of course I love my grandson, but seeing myself as I was keeps me focused. I don't want to be that person again. I'm down 23 lbs and have about 25 more to go. Halfway there !
