I wanted to cry.

Andy gave me an article he found in a magazine about the 3-4-5 diet. Pretty much 300 calories for breakfast, 400 for lunch, 500 for dinner.

It gave suggestions and a BK Whopper Jr. (no mayo) is a lunch option!

You can even have 100 calorie snacks here and there (apples, almonds, mini bag of popcorn)

It's been hard (I hate counting and measuring), but I've been sticking to it and now I'm down to 140 (from 150) in only a week and a half.

I was at 140 when I bought the dress and had my first couple of fittings so I know the dress will go on at least and be somewhat comfy. I'm shooting for 135 so I can breathe.

Wow, 10 pounds in a week and a half. Wonderful! Do you think you can post that article when you get a chance (or a place where I can find it)? I know you must be SOOOOOO busy, so no rush.
