Talking 28 down 30 to go

Hi all.. I started a diet in late March and have lost 28 lbs!!!!! A local dietitian has a successful program where you weigh in 2 or 3 times a week and she gives you all her recipes. The plan is to give up all processed flour and sugar. So I cook a lot and eat fruits and veggies. I feel healthier. I must say I get off the diet from time to time but I just keep at it.
I had my 3 week treatment last week and the nurse said its really hard to lost weight while on Herceptin. I will be in treatment for a long, long time. I will keep at it... I have another 30 I could lose.

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you
can stand up under it."
