Broke 160 mark & did not eat cake!!!

I am very excited to be able to say that I am FINALLY under 160 - just barely, but I AM there!!! Got there yesterday - on my birthday.

AND I was able to resist eating a traditional cake for my birthday...made a lc cake and enjoyed it and did not feel deprived. This, too, was a HUGE step for me!!! Bday cake is my FAVORITE dessert and I've never not had sweet, sugary cake on my birthday. I even bought cupcakes for everyone else and so far have not given in to the temptation. Only two left and they'll be gone tonight!

YAAAAYYYY for me!!!

Congratulations Freckles! What an accomplishment! I've been following a low carb diet since the beginning of January. I hope to be around 165 by summer. It seems to be taking me a bit longer to lose but that's because I'm not following a strict low carb diet. I do goof now and then. I don't feel as deprived that way. I do try and choose low carb foods. The weight comes off maybe a pound a week but hey, that is OK with me. At this rate I should be at my goal by summer. Good luck Freckles, your doing great!

Kathy....it was a recipe from Sunspine's journal....look in this thread to find the info...I changed the lemon extract to cherry extract. It's worth a try!
