Oh, I'm SO glad to hear you're educating yourself rather than just taking your doctor's word as gospel!! That's a very smart thing to do!

I'm same as Raz, too. I'm losing at about 1-1.5 lbs per month....but I'm happy with what I'm eating, so no sweat!!

You're doing fine. This is SO normal....I see it all the time and I went through the same thing. But fortunately I kept coming to this board and reading more and more. I got lots of help from some very smart and nice people and they kept me on track! Thank God for that!! Where would I be now if not for them? Probably eating french fries by day and crying by night!! I'm so much happier and healthier now.

Hang here for a while. You'll be just fine!
