Haven't checked in for a while....

I have not been posting my results here, but do periodically check in and reply to other's posts on the WISH board. As of this morning I have lost 37 lbs from my starting weight. 7 of which were since my last "update" done here on the DIS WISH board.

I am 8 lbs from goal.

I had a long period of "nearly" stalled (almost 5 months in which I lost only 2 pounds) but I actually let this happen. I needed time to adjust and I was not ready to push on to the final weight loss. I learned alot in that time ... I learned that I could EASILY maintain and do so while enjoying great low carb food - and with very little exercise. So I have a confidence now that I can do this forever... a confidence that I have never felt with any other way of eating.

For the past several weeks I have been back at it more intensely - I am ready to get to goal weight. Cut back on the extras, made it a rule to exercise in some fashion 30 minutes a day ... and the pounds have been melting off again. Goal is just around the corner now and I am closing in on it fast.

Just wanted to share with you - as I have been quiet for a while. Just nothing to report until I was ready to move on with it. You are all great inspirations to me. I love to read the posts here.

I have missed you, Laura. I was wondering where you were, I need you to visit WISH often, you know. You are an important member of my support group.

Good for you losing another 7 pounds and what hope you give me that I, too, will be able to lose my weight, keep it off and follow this healthy eating plan for the rest of my life.

How exciting that you are getting so close to goal. I'm so proud of you.

Please visit us more often?
