When I went to the doctor Friday and was weighed, to my surprise, I really haven't gained weight. I still weigh what I weighed after I lost the original 19 pounds that I lost, after I started keeping track, I think sometime in Aug. 2012. Although I am grateful that I've lost 19 pounds since then I intend to be even more diligent and consistent. I would really like to start losing at least 2-3 pounds a week or a little more. If I can accomplish this I can lose about 72 pounds or more by Christmas or the end of the year. This actually sounds pretty exciting. Why don't some of you try it, too? That is if you need to, or need to lose that much anyway. Otherwise, if you need to lose less, it shouldn't take, that long. I will be using the Diabetic/Kidney Disease Diet I posted a while back. I think this diet is basically a Diabetic diet without salt or foods high in potassium. I can have those foods, such as bananas on occasion, just not on a regular basis.
