since someone bumped the thread, i came back to reread what i'd written...i'm happy to say that now i *can* say that i've lost over 100 pounds, whereas my first post i was hanging around 97/98 pounds lost. Right now my range is between 146 and 148, which takes me over that 100lb mark - and also shows that even when you stall for 2 years around a weight - I was trying to stay at 154 and not even managing that for a while - it is *still* possible to get back and even below that number.

it's simply a way of life for me now. i'm going on 5 and a half years of low carbing. there are days that i eat high carb but they tend to be a few times a year, rather than a few times a month. i eat low fat sugar free yoghurts and sugar free chocolate every so often, and that helps me feel like i'm 'treating' myself when i need something sweet.
