welcome, Robin! And yes, as wbahn said, many people have backslid much further than you have, regaining all their lost weight plus 20 or 40 or more. So pat yourself on the back for grinding to a halt sooner rather than later. those holidays can be killers!

I think it really does take most of us a couple stabs at this to get convinced that we can't go back to our old way of eating. We have to change permanently, in effect "staying on the diet" forever. Once we get that through our unwilling carb-addicted heads, we're home free. The weight will come off (in its own good time) and the loss will finally be permanent.

Do you exercise at all? Keep posting and keep us all informed of your progress.
