Small changes make a huge difference Sharon, your advice is always based on what you have experienced which makes it good to see the journal entries supporting your efforts over the years.

My son had kidney stones earlier this year, never drank a fizzy soda again, turned to water, the weight dropped off of him. Now working on curbing small things like only buying fresh veggies, still promoting fruit into the diet which for some reason the younger generation don't seem to bother with.

Your posts are excellent reminders to everyone of us who have suffered fighting the battle of the bulge!
