Yes, I broke 200 when I was in the hospital. It wasn't exactly the best
way to break it. But I waited till I was sure it wasn't just going to be
put back on till I posted that I was down. Thats when I celebrated.

When Dale and I had dinner with my sister and brother-in-law Dee and Walt
two Saturdays ago. She said that it looked like I had lost weight. So, I must
look like I do too.

So that felt good. I am really working on getting to the next level. Which,
for me will be I think 190. But I'm guessing it will take me a while. But
that is fine.

I have to eat different now. I can't drink any more diet or regular coke,
so, I am drinking tea, usually unsweetened, sometimes I drink a sweetened.
But I'll only do one. Then I found a big k Lemon-lime I love of sugar-free.
And Derrick and I buy those. I've been buying bagels and my big thing.
I buy that isn't exactly on a diet is my cream cheese.

I also have cottage cheese, Potato Salad, Hard Boiled eggs, I changed from
margarine to butter because it's better for my issues. I also usually have
yogurt, a couple of kinds, lactose free ice cream, sometimes regular ice cream.
And then I have started drinking some milk but not a lot.

I am eating just a little hamburger, but it has to be no grease, and I am waiting.
to go back to steak, it's been 2 months soon. I eat chicken, turkey and a few other meats.

Also I'm going to have a health coach I believe they are called from my husbands insurance company because of the problems I've had.
I then have to get the Diabetic program I can do set up at some point.

I will later this spring. I'm not ready yet, and If I read it correct I can.
have Derrick go with me. Which would be great.
