Hi Liz,
Congratulations on the all the successes you have had, and there are many! I started Atkins August 6th three years ago and forgot to write an update, so hope you do not mind adding to yours. Like you I am about 12 pounds over my lowest weight, but only a few over a "healthy BMI" which is my line in the sand. I can completely abandon carb counting for weeks, adding that paleo wine and dark chocolate way too much, and only gain a few easily lost again pounds.
Do you think your pain relief is from giving up wheat ?(Dr. Davis mentions that on his one hour lecture I posted in research thread). That's the one thing I never touch. Do you eat soy products, natural fermented or processed? Another thing I never eat for other health reasons.
Fantastic that you ran a half-marathon! Won't see me running, but I wake up with great energy that lasts all day, and the combo of lack of hunger and constantly moving seems to keep the weight off naturally. And like you, just tested last week, super low Trigs and super high HDL...and luckily have a doctor who "just wrote the book" that LDL and TC are not the markers to watch.
All good news Liz. Thanks for adding your wonderful milestone thread!
