Thank you very much!:hug:

Just too throw in my 2 cents, I very rarely eat my lettuce, I am probably the worst about it on program, I think the main benefit comes from being more "regular."
Luckily only in this case that is, ever since I had my gall bladder out I have had the opposite side effect of the big "C" for the past 2 years, so I have actually found IP to make me more normal, so it kind of works for me lol.
Like I said I am actually kind of lucky this time around.

JellyMae is exactly right, don't think of it as 100lbs, just take it 5-10lbs at a time. You will see a difference. Some weeks you will have big loses sometimes you will have small or none at all. It all works out in the long run. Never thought I would say that I have 93lbs gone in 27 weeks!

Thanks Jelly & Wuv!!!!

Meant2b....we are all in this together....YOU WILL MAKE IT!!

I personally like "crunchy" food. So, I find I will eat just hearts of romaine sometimes with a little sea salt on them. Lettuce is great in place of bread for sandwiches. I'm finding that I enjoy foods that I wasn't so fond of before. Maybe the tastebuds are waking up. You may find the same happening to you. Have you tried a "chop chop" type salad where you chop the lettuce up very tiny and add other things to it. I find it totally changes the taste of the salad as the flavors combine together. I do sympathize - I don't eat meat, and if I had to eat it, I would be having a hard time too.

Hearts of Romaine are good but most of the nutrition is in the outer leaves, so don't through them away, OK?

Thanks - yes, I definitely use the outer leaves for just my "regular" type salads and wraps. It's the one lettuce that I routinely use for salads.
