You're darn right we gotta keep it going! I've lost 20 #'s as of last weigh in from where I started originally but I've still got 10-15 to go. I weigh in Thursday. I just got back from Coz last night so i need all the motivation I can get. If theres anything I can do to help let me know. Hnladue, keep that diary going. Write down portions as well as preparation methods as well as everthing you eat or drink. Don't skip anything. Write it down immediately after you eat it and I mean IMMEDIATELY. Not to knock your doctor but find a registered dietitian and go see them. Most docs have very little nutrition education. Registered dietitians, not nutritionists, are the real nutrition experts and one should be able to figure out how many calories you need, be able to identify your possible problem areas and get you on the right track. Try your local hospital. If they don't do outpatient appts. they should be able to direct you to someone who will. Good luck. Greg
