@ Sherri, first off, I saw your before and after pictures and all I gotta say, is WOW!!! You go girl! You are truely an inspiration! and I would have never thought of lessening the carb intake? What a novel idea! and Tony you are correct! All those fad diets! I sooo wish Doug would make a commercial!! To show the world how mislead they are by the commercials! It's rediculous! Most of the time, people are soo hard to persuade to go Fat To Skinny! Why is that? We've been trying to get my sister n law on the forum, and she's addicted to sugar, and so are her kids. I just hate like you said Sherri I feel like I know the secret to life, and it kills me that people won't accept the truth! They want a quick fix! A pill, a diet, it doesn't matter as long as it fixes it now! What took years to put on, won't magic itself off over night!
