I'm so pleased that you are doing great! I love your attitude - it's so healthy! Fantastic. Glad to hear that you are liking what you see in the mirror. Good idea not to weigh too often - it can drive you a bit dilly. Keep strong hon. I look forward to hearing about your progress. Lotsa luv to u!

Hey Alfonso! So you're NOT a scale addict huh? Good for you. I know you will be pleasantly surprised when you do weigh!

Welcome Alfonso! Good to have you here... and it sounds like you're really positive and motivated. Cool!

You mentioned how scary reading the back of a Pepsi can can be... I agree. Have you seen this article about coke? Also quite scary.
Water or Coke??
