I don't need to lose - not even an ounce. But on the other hand - I have no plan to put on any weight - pregnant toothpicks look silly - and that's where any weight gain goes - sadly, not to arms or legs or thighs for me. I eat breakfast at 5 - 5:30 a.m., a banana about 8 -9, lunch - whatever - might be steak or a sandwich, supper is at 4 -4:30 - and snacks before bed (I know - that's not good - but it helps put me to sleep). I don't eat any 'nighshade' family plants (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, or egg plant) that cause inflammation of my arthritis. I eat all the dairy I want, as well as fowl and their eggs, beef, pork (bacon, ham, porkchops, ribs on occasion), I usually eat Jewish Rye bread, I'm not really fond of cake - but pie - you called my name. I very seldom ever add sugar to anything - but I go through a gallon of honey every month or month and a half. I weigh now what I weighed when I was 18 - and I'm quite a bit further along the road.
