Thanks lyttlefish!
I checked the sugarless gum that i have and they have 0 carbs, so today i chewed a half piece while at work, it felt real good to chew on something at work while everyone else was snacking on valentines candy. Today was my official weigh in at 1 week and i couldn't believe, it said i lost 8lbs!!! I'm very excited and i'm continuing on this WOE untill i get down to my destinged weight however long it takes. Thanks for eveything everyone!!
