Default Blessed is this Site!!! - 16 weeks - 35lbs

Just thought I would share a little - and give an update on my progress - first off I'm not willing to take the time to figure out how to edit my numbers in my profile - nor how to update weight stats on this site - I'm truly a cyber and cellular rebel at heart - however - this site is my (and has been for the past few months) - SALVATION !! To date I have gone down three WHOLE dress sizes and lost a total of 35 lbs. I honestly can't believe I'm doing so good!! I also haven't worked out that much - not at all really. (When people notice my weight loss that I haven't seen in a while - I'm quite humble about my change(s). I recently went to a family gathering and some of them I haven't seen in a while (all women); - well - when I walked into the party everyone - I guessed noticed my - I guess you could say - progress? Anyhow - they all made me stand up - turn around and they started clapping and whistling!! I thought I would die. I felt like a contestant on the Biggest Loser Show - I don't like to be the center of attention and I probably should have enjoyed it - but I got embarrased. Then I thought to myself - boy - I must have really been a site for sore eyes last year!! Or should I say a BIG SITE for sore eyes. I still need to loose another 20 lbs or so to get close to my goal weight. Anyway - just thought I would lay this out there to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this - and how you may feel when it occurs. Thanks everyone for your continued support in my endeavor. I would not have been able to do this without the support and encouragement of all of you. This site is truly a "God Send!!!" Once again, I thank you with all of my heart!!

Well done! Keep up the good work! I love this site, too, as I don't know anybody personally who believes in low-carb, and it is so good to know that there are all these other people here on the forum who don't think I'm mad!!!

I would have never kept up with low-carbing if it weren't for this forum. I have only lost 12lbs (but I only have 20 to lose altogether), but I am very happy with my progress.

I also haven't figured out how to change my stats either...
