I'm now at 192 and I feel great. Thanks for the tips. I spent April 4-6 in New Orleans with my family. I had great food and I feel like I stayed on the plan. I used the following statement as my answer to all the offers of high carb foods/goodies, "Thanks that looks wonderful but I'm not having any". No one questioned my new choice of foods. Not one family member tried to stuff food in me that I did not want. By the way my brother is an outstading chef with 2 very successful restaurants in the area (MS Coast).

They all said I looked great.

By the way, for me prayer as been a real help to maintain my focus.

See ya'll...

Regards, Happy Chappy
