Spiral, You lost 26 lbs????????? Wow!!!!!!!!! I am thrilled for you!!!!! Also, I totally agree with everything you wrote, especially the point of eating what you like and expect to eat after the "diet" is over...

Hey Mike!!! I used to live in a teeny studio on West 74th and West End..... I always loved to look out at night at the lights coming from the Ansonia Hotel on Broadway and 72nd...

And what in blazes is Vitmo !???? LOL.... :lol: If it's soda or laden with cornsyrup, as in the "fruit punches" not really juice, then it's probably an S..... Real juice is okay...

Good on ya Carolejo!!!!!!!!!!! I'm definitely going to have something good, like cake or whatever when I make it like you did!!!!!

I think you could be kicked out of it if you intentionally ate in a gluttonous and Sugar crazed way for 21 days straight... That would cancel out and deprogram the good habit thing!
