I've lost 33 lbs since my last GP visit in May. cut out junk food (I may occasionally have some dark chocolate), carbs and there is no eating any later than 7 pm. If my tummy growls afterwards I may have a granola bar or a banana to hold me over till morning. sometimes my hunger wakes me up too early. after dinner I usually have some yogurt with blueberries. I am happy with my weight loss since I've yet to start exercising. I do have a stationary bike I will start using once my knee gets better. plus there is a beach nearby on the lake I can walk to as well. my BP has been under control and losing weight, I believe, is helping. my Wife seems to think I am always skipping meals and I occasionally do which is the downside. I don't always though. I may have a light snack to substitute. I'm not much of an eater during the summer months.
