    HI,
    	I only see a couple new people, are the others still around??
    
    	I have been in Merrimack for almost 7 years (March 12).
    
    	My current weight/health project is being guided by a HMO
    dietician. I'm limiting my fat to 30-40 (gms). 
     
    	Last year I thought I was doing a good job eliminating the guilty
    cholesterol items from my diet, but my count went up! even though my
    weight stayed almost the same...
    
    	I have lost 5-10 lbs in the last couple weeks, I think; and the
    doctor's scale shows -2 since October [+ approximately 10 over holidays!!] 
    so I lost the 10 and 2 more.
    
    	I can't be bothered with special recipes so counting the fat is
    good for me. 
    
    	I only have sweets at noon; no caffeine; don't eat after 8:00 pm
    (usually) and have found new things to munch on--pita bread sprayed
    lightly with Pam type butter spray and sometimes sprinkled with
    cinnamon and sugar. The spray is good on popcorn also.
    
    	I'm trying to find a second hand skiing or walking exercise machine
    for evening/tv use. That's the only time of day I have to work-out.
    
    	Barbara

|     Well, lots of 'maintenance mode' folks like me are still here - but
    we're not necessarily still a round! :-)
    
    Good luck...

|     The 30gram a day plan really works.  I'm on a diet with a with a friend
    of mine (just started today) and she has lost 7 pounds in the first
    week.
    
    You can eat a variety of things.   All the fruit and veggies you want. 
    Even sweets can be included in your day if you count the fat--sometimes
    a candybar is  16 grams of fat.
    
    Anyway, its much easier to follow this program.  Not as restricted, and
    it seems to work.
