We are going to Universal in a few weeks and I haven't been able to find any information online about options. Has any body been?  I am looking for specific advice. I have found Mythos has low carb options. That is about all.

I am so grateful I had a this surgery, it had given me so many opportunities I didn't even know I was missing. 

That being said, I am in so much physical pain that no one can seem to diagnose. I was in a walking boot for 4 months last year(alte

I am getting paranoid I am done losing. I know a lot of it is what the doctor said to md, but still. I am already 18 pounds lower than he said to hope for, still losing at a decent rate.  But then I read someone on a different support group say weight

Say you make a big pot of soup and the stats are for one cup servings. How do I know it's accurate?  Or do you just assume it balances out over time?  I am trying to be very serious about my measuring and this is keeping me from making soup
