This is my 2nd time at Low carb. I tried it in 1998-99 back when everyone I knew thought it was evil. I lost 30 pounds then, very fast, then stalled out for 2 months and couldnt shift a pound. I got very discouraged and gave up.

and gained it back, plus some.

So, this time I'm ready for the slow down -- I've lost 30, and now I'm up and down 5# for the last 3 weeks.

I know that part of the problem may be with the "treats" that many see as the great Evil Toad, but I also know that without them I'd be heading for the closest REAL junk food emporium.

I'm in this for the long haul -- after all my blood pressure is back to normal and so are all the other things that doctors love to tell you are going to kill you if you don't "change your ways"
