thanks Judy.. for posting.. will definitely keep track of everything so when the "stalls" or issues arise I can over come them. I actually feel better since I have reduced carbs. I don't feel sluggish, bloated and I don't have the usual hunger pains. So this is not just about weight loss, but overall health. I use to have heart palpitations and feel like I had been running after eating sugar. My body is very carbohydrate sensitive. My stomach would literally hurt when I was hungry and I think that was basically carb withdrawals. I am in it for the long haul an even if the scale stops moving.. I know I still have to press forward. So far so good...
