Sally, I was trying to figure out what you were taking and could not really see it either.

I have been on a diet for the past three weeks. I have gained 60 pounds since being dx with ms 8 years ago. I have gained and lost about 40 of those at various times but a few weeks ago I was at my all time high.

I have lost 9 pounds in the past three weeks. 2.4 pounds this week. I weighed in this morning. At first I tried the Whole 30 program, but I only lasted 8 days at that. Then I joined TOPS and I am basically following a Weight Watchers diet. I am eating as much vegetables and fruits as I want and more lean protein and less bread, dairy, and other grains. I am also keeping a food diary. There's a free application called My Fitness Pal that a number of the women in my group use and I just downloaded it and started using it today.

Not being able to get fresh produce is hard. That is all I will eat. Thankfully, I can still get to the store and I have found that produce and fruit is less expensive here in Texas.

I am still working on the exercise part since any movement causes me pain of varying degrees in my back and leg. I am going to yoga now. This is going to be a long journey for me, but I am determined to eat healthier and not just lose weight but hopefully improve my overall health.
