Hi Dave,

Welcome to the forum. I find this forum to be extremely helpful - hopefully you will too.

I've only been on the CALP for a little over 3 weeks - only just got my cholesterol checked a couple of weeks ago - a little high, but good HDL and triglycerides. My doctor supports my WOE and just wants me to come back in about six months (or after I've lost another 10-15 pounds) and get bloodwork done again - so I'll keep you posted.

I have the same concerns about falling off the wagon - treating (or tricking) myself. So far it hasn't been too difficult to resist carbs outside of my reward meal, but I know that there may be a day(s) where I'll just feel unable to resist. Especially when on the go - almost every convenience food is full of carbs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
