wow,, what a great inspiration you are . Keep up the good work. 

Focus on yourself not others,beause you always must remember You doing this for yourself and "others" are not important !!! 

Keep up the good work. I keep waiting for the day where I get to buy a smaller size. Down 29 pounds so far & still no real change in body shape to allow for a change in for of clothes. :/ Frustrating but I'm keeping at it. 

A great achievement. When you get to your second goal weight you will be getting compliments again since then the change will be more visible to the people you just met. 10 lbs here or there no one will notice. Sure, you are doing this for yourself but compliments are always nice ;-) 

Keep it up! you are doing fantastic! :) and a pound a week is a healthy rate to lose. More sustainable and realistic than our dreams of 'slim and fit in one to three months" :) 

That's amazing, and a boost to all of us who still have a ways to go. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the last 10! 

I'll compliment you. You look great. I loved your post. You are doing very well. :) 

You're doing great!! Keep up the good work! 

Wow ! You have done an amazing job.This will inspire alot of us to keep at it.You are proof that ,It Can Be Done! 

What is a low to high range for carbs? 

Com[liment yourself every day! You deserve it!

Great job! Keep it up! Let us be your motivation! 

Wow, thank you everyone!! I'm beaming from all the encouragement! I know we should all be self-motivated and it shouldn't matter what others think, and in the long-run, I AM doing this for health more than anything else. But the support and encouragement really makes a huge difference. 

Maurined -- when I started off, I ate 20-25 grams per day. But beware there are carbs in everything. Even packets of splenda or a cup of coffee. It's crucial that you do some reading about low carb now. Almost everyone I know that's tried low carb in real life has failed because they didn't do the reading, and they just tried to wing it. They either messed up because they didn't know what they could eat and their diet was too limited, or they over-carbed because they didn't count accurately. Or they thought they could have cheat days and be ok. Now that I've been doing it over a year, I don't really count anymore. Some days I bet I eat only 15g and others I'm sure I go up over 50g. I know which things work well for me and which to avoid. My carb tolerance is higher because my body is used to this. I don't cheat, but I will occasionally allow myself one bite of something to taste it, but not at home. I know my triggers and I will not allow myself even a taste of them. (ice cream, pizza, donuts. LOL) If I'm hungry, I eat, even if it's not meal time, but I try to fill up on fat and protein and green vegetables first. I try to eat a small portion and wait 30 minutes before I eat more. If I'm not hungry at meal time, I just eat a snack. I don't skip meals at all and always eat a good breakfast. Good luck to you!!
