  6. I am within 1 pound of 200 pounds lost from my highest weight!

  7. I am now about 13 or 14 weeks out and have lost 43lbs. I feel like this is not good but i know everyone loses at their own pace. Is there any food out there that we can use when those salty cravings hit. I've really not had any sweet cravings which for me is a milestone in itself but am i lacking in the sodium department? What do any of you suggest for when those cravings hit?

      I eat pork rinds, babybel cheese or jerky. I used to eat nuts but it's hard for me to stop at one serving. Btw, 43lbs is excellent. You are averaging 3lbs a week. Hard to do w/o surgery. Learn from my mistake, I am still struggling to get to goal, over a year out. Stay away from the bad carbs, especially while in the weight loss phase. Good luck!
