All the best to you and DH!

Thanks all!

What other way of eating can you eat a steak the size of a dinner plate, have cheese on my veggies, real dressing on my salad, and possibly some cheesecake (made with Splenda) and still lose weight. No more "pack of cards" size meat servings for me! I am a big eater and I want a big meal.

Dr. Atkins....pass me that pork chop!

Hi Leigh!

<center><b> Congratulations!!!! </center></b>

I'm so happy for you, not just on your weight loss, but that your cholesterol is down and you've actually learned to like exercise. I'm still working on that one.

Congrats to hubby, too!

Hope you have much continued success on your journey!
