Hi Piscato. I just hit the -35 pound mark. It might be a little too fast but I'm Gung Ho at this point. I'm eating a small breakfast usually some orange juice, and a bagel with fruit. For lunch I have a small sandwich consisting of lettuce, tomato, vegie deli meat (soy based product that sort of tastes like turkey) with mustard. Perhaps a few pretzels or a banana on the long ride home. Then for dinner my wife usually makes something good. I love Italian food. She's great at cooking it. We get whole wheat or semolina pasta which the body doesn't convert to sugar as easily as pasta made from enriched flour. For protein we eat a lot of different types of beans. I don't care for the fake vegie meat so we don't bother to mix it in with our meals. My wife makes and excellent vegie pizza with some sort of tofu cheese. I love it. She also make a bean chile that is so good that I don't miss the meat. I sort of acquired a taste for vegetables. I never liked them much, especially as a kid. Don't get me wrong, I don't crave them or anything but I certainly don't have to wash them down with water. Speaking of water, I drink lots of it. Sell your Budweiser stock and buy Poland Spring water stock. While I was on vacation, I treated myself to a cheese burger and a few fish dishes. Also put away a few beers. Got my cravings taken care of for a while. I certainly noticed how much more sluggish those foods made me feel. I also felt the oil come out of me as I sweated. I feel much better now that I'm back on the diet again. I plan on running now that the weather is beginning to get nicer. Between that and chasing my kids around the yard I should be able to get to my goal weight and stay there for good. This way I can enjoy a barbeque every once in a while during the summer. Perhaps a nice big one for the 4th of July. I'd hate to stop that tradition... -JackassLaLane
