Hi I haven't checked in in awhile but I'm doing well. Here's a recap of my intro:

I'm on a low carb, low fat diet and have lost 92 pounds in the last 16 months.

I've lost 6 pounds since I last posted. I do a low carb/low fat diet that is calorie controlled to between 1,200-1,500 a day. Now my total lost is 98 pounds so I will check in again to tell you when I've had my 100 pound loss! It's so close. Low carb really controls the appetite. I don't do Atkins because that is too much fat but rather eat lean protein and low carb veggies like lettuce, celery,mushrooms, zuchini,carrots,green peppers,tomatoes,green beans. I don't count carb grams but they are probably between 20 and 60 per day, all coming from veggies and also from cottage cheese. I never eat starches like bread, pasta, potatoes or anything with sugar. I will have some berries sometimes as they are a low carb fruit. I take multi vitamins and calcium and drink plenty of water.

Thanks for the welcome, Jodifer..It took me about 8 months to lose 80 pounds...then I maintained for 7 months. So far this year I've lost about 10 and I'm looking for the goal of weighing 200 pounds by the end of this year. What I've found is I need to be consistent and turn down temptations because one day of indulgence can undo the rest of the week's work. When tempted I just say to myself...well I can have that in moderation when I'm at goal weight.
