I'm glad you were checked and all is well. I agree with you about the carbs. Before i disciplined myself to this diet, if i ate one cookie it would become many. Carbs only make you hungrier especially if carbs is all you eat at a meal. For lunch , i'd grab a cookie or something of that nature and eat most before i stopped and still be hungry a few minutes later. Keep up the good work and we will eventually get there. I'm looking forward to July because if I don't have any stalls I should reach 140-150 and that will make me happy. I read that at my age(64) i shouldn't go back to my younger weight as it tends to make seniors look frail . So anyway I'll be happy. Have a great day and hope to hear from you again. Wawtigress
