I can understand your decision, lcing doesn't suit everyone...my best pal lost 63lbs in 2002 by cutting sweets from her diet, walking and eating a very balanced diet. Most importantly, she didn't deprive herself, she just took better decisions about what she put on her plate.
Maybe this would be better for you too.
No matter what plan each of us chooses, we're all in this together.
Good luck with your future weightloss
