  • 80 lbs is my goal weight for the year. Once I meet it, I want to evaluate what is left to lose and what cannot be lossed. I started at 411 lbs. Currently holding at 270.

  • I had my RNY done in 2006. I lost 170 lbs after 9 months. Things came to a halt. I have learned so much in the past years. I regained 70 lbs during a bout of stress, depression, and insomnia.

  • I use it in salads. Not all Balsamic Vinegars are created equal though. If you are watching carbs, try to stay away from thicker ones. I usually buy low carb balsamic or red wine vinegar with infusions. You can get garlic and other berry flavors.
