Congratulations Freckles! What an accomplishment! I've been following a low carb diet since the beginning of January. I hope to be around 165 by summer. It seems to be taking me a bit longer to lose but that's because I'm not following a strict low carb diet. I do goof now and then. I don't feel as deprived that way. I do try and choose low carb foods. The weight comes off maybe a pound a week but hey, that is OK with me. At this rate I should be at my goal by summer. Good luck Freckles, your doing great!
