Hi

About 8 years ago I lost over 100 lbs on Atkins, but I think I lost it too quickly and didn't adjust to a permanent low carb way of eating. So I gained about 3/4 of the weight back. I'm also post-menopausal now and losing is hard and slow! But I read the SB book at the beginning of this year, and it seems like a better lifelong way of eating, so I started the SB diet in February. I've lost about 25 lbs, even though I went off the diet for about 3 months. Somehow, I was able to maintain my weight during that time - don't know how! So I've been back on it for about 4 weeks, and even after my son's wedding last weekend and having a carb splurge, I still lost a pound, so I'm happy! And I've lost about 7" overall.

My main goal is to get to a healthy BMI, with good cholesterol levels, good blood sugar levels, & good blood pressure - for the rest of my life!
