My new diet just sucks. It is really important that I lose weight so when (if) I have my knee surgery, there won't be so much weight on my knees during rehab. I'm just starving. My new diet is 4 tablespoons of food a day! Total. That is about 1/4 of a cup. Linda is doing 2 tablespoons, twice a day. Plus, no treats or table scraps. The exercise is the fun part, I love taking walks. I've got to be careful not to jump or run too fast though so my knees stay in place. I'll be looking pretty good in my bikini when I reach my goal weight.
