I have lost a lot of weight also. Went down 4 dress sizes from a size 10. Am back to my high school weight. It is a struggle to keep weight on.
@windwalker, Hi Terry, I also lost quite a bit of weight through the process .. 18% of my body weight. I am a small person .. 5'2.5 and have never had a weight issue so that was really a lot. I am NOT proposing this to ANYONE but I based on what was going on .. I took terrible advantage of it! I had bacon for breakfast every morning and 1/5 quart of my favorite ice cream every night! It was GLORIOUS!! Now keep in mind .. I did NOT have any cholesterol or diabetes problems .. nothing that would preclude me from this but common sense!! So I just had fun with it! The day I was back to a normal weight was a sad day. I had to BAN ice cream from my home ..it is my very favorite vice! I knew if I was in the house .. I'd eat it . so never more! But had fun while it lasted! Lemons out of lemonade! Keep in mind I would NEVER recommend my foolishness to anyone else . just thought you'd get a kick out of MY remedy! Hugs! Katherine
@dianelobosco, ,. you ARE are NOT Diane? Yes, for me you will see below that I lost 18% of my body weight .. BUT did gain it back. So IF you want to lose and keep it off .. I would just maintain healthy eating habits throughout the WHOLE process! Hugs! Katherine
Believe me, I have been eating the heck out of chocolate, extra spoonful of sugar in my coffee, etc. I put 2.5 lbs on last week and it is sticking, so I am hoping that means I am regaining health. I am 5-5 1/2" and dipped down to 117 lbs!
@windwalker, Terri, I feel like I am a BAD person telling about my ice cream .. wish I could delete it! MUCH better information from GG below .. PLEASE listen to her .. NOT me .. MUCH more sensible advice!! (I DO love fruit of all kinds .. THAT is a healthy sugar!) Hugs to all! Katherine

sugar is not the answer more complex carbohydrates and protein would be better , don't forget fruit and vegetables
<br><br><br><br><br>Hi Ladies. Oh, I eat way too healthy. The chocolate and sugared coffee are <br>my recent indulgences!<br> <br><br>
I have had huge weight loss in association with MAC - not a good plan at all for me. My doctor has me on three nutritional drinks per day. If you lose weight, please give it to me.Irene
