thanks Nat ... actually, I lost 35 lbs between May 2000 and November .... then, I took a medication that caused me to gain 15 lbs very quickly ... and I have been over 8 months trying to overcome that and just get back to where I was at before the gain .. .. If it weren't for this forum and keeping myself focused and dedicated, I would have given up in total discouragement. Those who've come to know me well over the months and months ... know that I truly am a commited low-carber (well, I should be commited ... **LOL**) and have constantly been trying different ways, different perspectives .. always with it in my mind that I will never go back to eating highCARB again. Whether or not there's a weight loss isn't important, it's how I feel over all. It's Low-Carbin' and Me 4ever

Thanks for your kind words though .. But I really do live by the words in my signature line. You can't win the game if you quit playing. Whatever other things I may be, I am definitely NOT a quitter.
