I'm doing the happy dance.
I'm 25 pounds lighter since January 1st!!!!!
Still have pounds to go, but it feels sooooooo good to be able to say "I'm 25 pounds less than I was on January 1st".
How have I done it?
NO WHITE BREAD, NO WHITE RICE, NO POTATO
I eat my carbs alone (or with veggies).
I eat protein and veggies.
I eat fruit 1 hour before a meal (if I'm going to have fruit).
I eat cheese, meats, veggies, whole-wheat, to my hearts content.
I don't feel hungry or get the shakes anymore.

and... I eat sugar-free ice cream (made by Blue Bunny) and sugar-free chocalates (made by Russell Stovers, available at Walmart) , and I don't feel like I'm limiting myself.
What I wish I'd do more of......EXERCISE.
Can you imagine how much less I'd weigh if I'd just walk, or ride a bike?
