Nothing at all having to do with the question/issue you posed. Just a HUGE congratulations on your weight loss and thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your post/reply. You offer some great advise and I will certainly take it to heart. I like the water / soup idea and will incorporate that into my plan. I'm really not a meat eater... except for hamburgers but I've actually cut them down so much that I can't remember when I had one last and I don't do fast…
