i dont feel restriction im maxed on my fill (4cc) im walking 2 mile brisk walks ( fast paste) 3-4 times a week i would do more but i work 12 hour shifts. low fat cottage cheese w/ fruit or mix trail nuts, coffee boil egg (l) grill chicken salad or mixed salad friut dinner fish or chicken baked or boiled water and ice decaff tea in between crystal light as well, no periods ( hyster in '03) maybe i need to change up on menu it get hard raising 3 out of 5 kids on one income so i cant buy things when i run out all the time..maybe ishould go back to liquids for a week i dont know , my insurance wont cover me to see an dietrition or nutrtion so i feel im stuck

thanks now that you mention it i have slowed down on the drinking but that was coz i thought i was drinking to much Water thats way my weight gained. i love my iced tea and decaff coffee love my crytal light, but for sum reason was gaining, then loosing the gain it back
