Hi, Malibanne.
I know I'm rather late to the party here, but I read through the thread, and I just wanted to echo what others have said about keeping track of inches lost in some way. The beauty of low carb is that since you're burning fat for fuel, the inches can seem to just melt away so easily! I weigh and measure myself every Saturday morning, and even in weeks (like this one) when the weight doesn't drop or even goes up slightly, I'll have a loss in inches somewhere on my body. That keeps me going when the weight doesn't drop as quickly as I'd like.
I'm close to your age, and the same height, and have about the same weight goal as you do, though I have a lot farther to go. I don't know if it's realistic for me, but I'm going to keep at it and take it wherever my body will allow.
I lost 115 lbs 8-9 years ago, and got close to goal before quitting, and because I looked at it as just a weight-loss diet I went back to my old ways of eating and gained almost all of it back. So now I'm re-treading old territory and have hopefully learned my lesson that this is really the way I need to eat always.
Best of luck with your goals! This is a wonderful place for support and knowledge!
