hi Mari,

This is so wonderful news! ..

I remember your first posts, and you wanted so badly to be healthy so you could enjoy life and be as physically active with your baby as possible ... and you were already closer than you thought.

I agree with Wendy, no harm to schedule frequent checkups anyway. It's worth keeping an eye on the thyroid function ... I have what is known as "subclinical hypothyroidism" meaning my blood levels are "normal" but I was exhibiting all the classic signs and symptoms. It's been a slow process, very slowly and gradually increasing the dose, but I feel a little improvement in the last few months. If you have the chance, check out the About.com thyroid site .. for some excellent information on this topic.

Here's to continued lowcarbing success, and good health for you ..
