Sunshine-don't give up. Load up on the vegetables. Seriously pile them on. That will help get you regulated. Um, I just re-read what I wrote...I didn't mean necessarily in the sense of your digestion. But hey, consider that a bonus. Keep consistent with them no matter what. Even if you have a food lapse. Eat veggies. They have been my saving grace.
Meissoun-I think it's our lifestyle that makes Europeans gain weight when they come here. Last time I went to France I had dessert after every dinner. I ate everything: the fattening, the salads, the bread and, of course, my veggies. My mom and I both lost weight. It was the walking that we're not used to. Talk about a great bonus.
Got another question for the group. How is your energy level? When I'm consistently losing, I find that I can be a bit fatigued.

I still haven't gotten off my tail to exercise. That's probably contributing.
