Thank you. You are right I never worried or thought much about carbs. always did the calorie thing, this is much easier and i'm not starving! I just have to remember that even without losing the weight I am feeling better and feel more in charge of my life. It is just frustrating that i was doing so well in the losing department and now i seem stuck and i'm so far from my goal! But it took years for me to get like this. I have stayed my weight pretty much for the last 20 years, but now i am slowly creeping up and want to get a handle on it, whereas before I was complacent and i should not have been.
