4 months.
on November 27, 2009 8:20 am
Hello everyone! Happy thanksgiving! 

I am now 4 months and 2 weeks? out. I am doing very well and loving life. I loveee my DS. I am getting in all my water but I could do a bit better with my protein so I will be going to try new protein powders soon! My gas "problems" have gotten much better (before I was having gas, even when I hadn't eaten carbs and it mostly happened at night time). So I am happy about that. I am down 88 pounds! 

There really isn't much more to say. But I am very happy at where I am right now. Thanks for reading!
