My number one tip is this: deprivation is doomed to failure. Don't completely rule out foods if you can feasibly work them in. Don't make this a painful process.

My number two, close behind that,...

The first week, I wasn't hungry at all. Fortunately, it wore off (I started it when I was already well into my weight loss, so having an appetite change was a little annoying).

I hit 199 today, so...Onederland! Too bad my dad's in the hospital and I'm too tired to greet the milestone with anything other than resignation.

Pickles for filler. Lots of veggies for a big lunch that isn't so big, calorie-wise. Lean protein. Definitely not carb-type snack foods, because I'll eat way too much of them. Soup.

I do. It holds me accountable, and it also gives me information on how my body works. I went to Alaska for a week--the entire week was filled with cheating. When I got back, I was eleven pounds...

Because...205! So close--so very, very close. Another 10 pounds, and I'm basically where I was in high school. Another 14 pounds, and I'm no longer obese. And only six pounds to Onederland!

I hit 207 on Sunday, and now I'm super impatient to get to Onederland. It's so close, I can almost taste it.

It tastes like bananas, oddly enough.

Yeah, but it's all in my scalp. Seriously, I'm really prone to cysts there. I got one on my forehead once and had to have it removed. I knew about four of them before my weight loss, but losing...

That being said, this does mean I do drastically limit the number of times I go to non-chain places.
