Hi add me also sastexan4u. Love this app !!!

I stopped coming to this forum because I am losing soooo much slower than people on here. I am 50 and post menopausal' date=' so I knew it would be slow and I am not hard core dieting. I eat what I want, just a lot less of it! Had several weeks if being really sick and have been inactive too, but today did some before and after pics... I has surgery 2 1/2 months ago.

I can not drink any thing cold I love cold Water I live in Tx and we drink every thing cold in the summer any one doing the same thing.Thanks!!

make the transition a smooth one avoid fried foods sugars try one thing at a time log your food 3 meals 2 snack lot's of Water and Protein #1 plane your meals eat Protein first low fat and no sugar I eat Diabete diet most of the time go on line there are great meals I eat lot's of fish,chicken,sea food chew chew eat very slowly no grazing very small bites..

Take it slow and don't pick up any thing over 10# for about 3 week and easy on the bending..I know this is hard to do try sitting down and picking up...Good Luck..
