You're lucky, Shipto.

What I found was that the few carbs I was eating were also a source of a lot of added fat, like artichokes, which I love to eat with lots of mayonnaise. I also make a killer tartar sauce that I loved to eat on all meats, not just fish. That and half n half in my lattes. And due to years of overeating in general, my sense of portion sizes is not good.

However, because I was able to identify the trouble spots, I've been able to cut calories pretty easily and effectively. And I know that this low-calorie training I'm putting myself through now will make it easier for me to maintain when I get where I want to be.
