thank you everyone for your input. it helps me no hear what others are thinking and also what they are doing.

I am starting back on low- carb as of today. I am going to give it a serious chance and after several weeks on it I am going to go to my doctor and have soe bloodwork done and see where I stand. I am hoping to lose weight too of course but that is not my only concern. So, thanks again and I will be on this board once again daily looking for encouragement and great low-carb tips.
