Trustycat - I am just now seeing your post. I don't get on this board much but I should. I tend to hang around another one too much. You appear to be a lot younger than me, but that is OK. I would love to be buddies. Tell me more about what your menu is like. Do you pretty much eat what you want as long as it is not sugar, white flour, pasta, white rice, high carb veggies and fruits? That is where I sort of am at this point. I'm not as good as you; I do have to have at least one snack during the day. I could go crazy over sugar free candy if I let myself. I really have to control it. Thanks for the post. Anleigh
