I just joined, though my work schedule may make it difficult for me to post a lot. Still, I appreciate being able to browse the messages and stay mentally on-track. This looks like a positive, well-informed group.

I've lost almost 35 pounds on LC, am a (tight!) size 10, and am losing very slowly now. At times that is frustrating, then I "come to" and realize that as a middle-aged woman, I may not GET any smaller than size 10, and that there are people out there who would kill to be a size 10....I calm down eventually.

I enjoy exercise (I wouldn't do it otherwise), and read quite a bit about LC and related biological issues. thanks in advance for your welcomes!

Welcome aboard Razzle, glad you joined us.

Congrats on your success. I always check members profiles and see what books they have read, quite an impressive list you have. I never heard of Gittleman. I wonder if you'd be willing to provide a synopsis of it on our low carb plans project forum:

This is turning out to be quite a useful resource, particularly to help newbies decide which plan might suitable for them.

Hi Razzle

Glad you liked what you saw. Well done on the 35lb loss. Pretty impressive. I know a size 10 is a distant dream which I may never realise for me.

Take care.
