Hi Deb.....I am still here as are a lot of folks, but I think folks just check in and read but don't post. That is what I am guilty of sometimes........I am fighting carbs still and sometimes don't do a very good job. I am guilty of falling off the wagon. However I have not gained weight......this past year I have lost weight.....about 20 pounds, but I went up a bit before the recent loss so I've lost more than 50 pounds since I started this a few years ago. I lost most of my weight in a couple of years, then stalled out because I was on and off the diet. I am now starting to get strict again and am checking in for support. So, take heart and keep coming back and posting. I will be here and so will others...they just need to wake up!!! I need to lose another 50-70 pounds to reach my goal and I would appreciate the company!
