            Hey there hon. I had to lose weight for hip surgery. I don't have a clue how it came off so fast - I think it must have been angelic intervention. I did induction for about 8 weeks and then just stuck to the first few rungs. I think I need to post some pics of that transformation - I went from size 24-26 down to size 12 (but I need a scanner first). I halved myself. My surgeon nearly FAINTED. It was so cool. As to what I ate - it was just a simple atkins woe. I never eat breakfast. For lunch each day I'd have a big salad with some form of protein, usually in mayo. For dinner I'd have some form of meat either roasted or fried with grilled veggies and / or salad. And that was basically it. I find my appetite goes away on Atkins, big time.

            But like so many I got contented with life, starting eating carbs all over again and now I've gone back up to size 18. But I've caught myself before I get back up to where I started from. And now I'm determined to get back down to size 12. Or even size 10. It's going slow this time though. Real slow. I'm hanging in there though. Trying to make positive changes to see what's stalling me. Not eating high carb or anything. I take meds and I didn't quit the coffee. So .. now I'm looking at quitting the coffee. Can't stop the meds. So I really hope it isn't that. Lost 14lbs so far though. Slow but certain. Lotsa luv to you.
