Thanks for links, welcome, and support! I'm finding my way around, and the links are very helpful.

Janet, I not only saw Dr Westman's session, I got to sit with him at dinner on the first evening. I asked him all kinds of questions. His help prompted me to stop counting net carbs and keep my protein within the needed range for my body. Other folks at the table convinced me that intermittent fasting would help reset things and contribute greatly to lowering my insulin response. Since I've been home, I've done two 24 hour fasts and just wrapped up a 36 hour fast this morning. It sure helped my stalled weight loss, but the key for me will really be my next insulin blood draw and also CRP coming down.

Janet, I read on another thread that you've maintained for 7 years? That's awesome and inspiring!

Zoo girl I will definitely get over to your journal. Thanks for the motivation.
