Yes, in the couple of years I've not been paying enough attention to my Lowcarbness, I've let the Weight Creep overtake me. But I STILL consider myself an LC success story. And I will always be grateful to you, my companions along the way.
Although at present, I am at a former "peak" weight and working to change that, I know (as I have always known) that LC is about health as much as anything.
At 67, I'm never again going to be that 135lb marathoner I once was, when I had the grit to go against type for a couple of years.
But I will never again be the 192lb. fast-food junkie that I once was either.
Somewhere in the middle, LC helps me feel good and reasonably in control of my health destiny.
What is success? Falling down three times and getting up four?
I guess this thread started out with an article about weight loss failure. I won't be a weight loss failure until the day I die, no matter what I happen to weigh.
Carry on.

I've said all along, the #1 cause of my slipping up and gaining 20-30 pounds over the past decade+? Weight loss. It makes me feel too normal, like I don't have to be careful anymore. Hahaha.
