Dana, That was a wonderful post!! I always love to read your posts. You are so positive and uplifting! It has been really hard for me, since I feel like I started out at a much higher weight than many others on this board. Therefore, I don't post too often on here because of that. However, I am doing really good though, I've gone down from 520 lbs to 359 lbs now! I feel SO much better and I am still hanging in there!! I am so very happy for your progress and accomplishments! You are doing great!! God Bless You and continue the good work!! Hugs, Joanna RNY 2-21-05 520/359/150

It sounds like I am a lot different than everyone else. The dieticians I see have told me to make sure I get no LESS than 100 carbs a day to keep me out of ketosis. I am suppossed to eat at least 1000 calories but they would like me to be at 1100. I ussually end up between 850 and 1000. My fat grams are around 20 or 30. My protein is 65- 70 and my fluid is about 90 oz. It looks like everyone is pretty different, but it still seems to be working for all of us!!! Very cool.

OMG you look great, I give you so much praise for your weight loss...I still need to lose about about 60 more to reach my personal goal and some day I hope to be able to afford plastic surgery....enjoy your new self..You look great....Dawn 315/206/145 healthy
