Hello Ladies! I haven't been to a forum in almost two months, but hopefully I'll have the time to get back into it. It sounds like everyone is doing so well on their diets. I'm hoping I can get back into a diet. I work as a cook in an assisted living facility for the elderly. So dieting is very hard work. But, I've come on a diet that several of the residents have to be on because of diabetes. It's a very low carbohydrate diet - no potatoes, rice, bread, etc. And of course, no desserts. We do cook diabetic desserts, and they're pretty good. I'm thinking of trying this out even though I'm not diabetic. Can't hurt, right? The reason I got off my diet was because we were spending alot of time at the hospital with my son and daughter-in-law. They had a baby girl. Unfortunately, she was born almost 3 months too early. She was 1 lb 9 oz when born. But now she's up to 2 lb 1 oz, almost completely off the respirator and they're feeding her some high nutrient formula - 18 cc every 3 hours. But now that she's doing so well (the doctors are amazed!) maybe I can concentrate on my own fat self. I need to lose 50 lbs. And at this point I can use all the encouragement I can get. Everyone keep up the good work! Love to you all, Kylesgranny
