Actually, I lost more than 20 lbs. Now I would like to lose another 13 lbs, but it isn't absolutely necessary. I'm satisfied with the 26 lbs that I lost already. I lost the weight by cutting out bread, potatoes and sugar. Although I could eat them occasionally (except sugar), I don't think I will beyond a small scoop of mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving w/butter - no gravy. But I won't have stuffing. While dieting I ate lots and lots of salads. When you add ham, chicken, tuna, salmon, eggs and lots of other things to salads, they aren't boring at all. And I use low carb tortillas and lavish bread occasionally for sandwiches and wraps. One thing I had to watch and continue to limit is my intake of fruit - which has a lot of natural sugar. The secret to keeping the weight off is to eat the same foods I ate while losing weight and not go back to the sweets and ice cream and bread, pancakes and biscuits, etc. It's a new lifestyle and I like it. Good luck to everyone who wants to lose weight. If you have health problems, make sure you see a doctor before dieting.
