bit every day, and I'm actually at my lowest weight now on this diet
this morning 109.2 kg = 240.2 lb - a total loss of 15.8 kg = 34.8 lb.
I'm very close to at least 3 milestones! :)

What tricks is everyone using to add calcium to their diet other than
supplements?

Yesterday I had an idea to start making meal cards. I got me a recipe box and
some index cards. I'm going to start writing down my meals with portion size,

Any comments about this diet from the good people at ASD?

Catching up here -- I've been busy :-).  Thursday night DH and I went
out for a fancy "chef's special" dinner at a local inn, and I went to
