So on April 29th i will be 6 months out. I have lost 50lbs. as of today as i type this. I have been lucky enough to not have all the nausea, dehydration, hair loss, ect that some people are having. I also have figured out that i can eat the "forbidden" foods and not get sick. I've caught myself slipping and falling back into that trap because i have a lot of stress going on in my life right now and i'm glad i caught myself as i started to slip and am now trying to work on ways to channel my frustration into something more positive instead of the food trap. I have also noticed that i am losing inches faster than the weight but i have always been that way. I probably could be down a few more pounds had i not splurged a little but i did not gain any weight but stayed the same so now i am back on track and have started walking again and keeping myself busy and active. I see so many positives going on with so many people on here and i wish i could congratulate everyone personally but i'll give a group shout out to keep up the great work and you guys are all doing a hell of a job. To those struggling you have my support and are in my thoughts and prayers as these are hurdles and you will over come them and be successful. Lots of love
