Hey Lowco,
no apology necessary. For me I consider doing CALP lowcarb, technically I guess its more low insulin. Listening to what your body needs and eating carbs in a healthy way is the point of this plan.

Don't worry about the past or being a little overweight. Love yourself where you are and find peace. If your healthy that's great, if you lose a few pounds or maintain during the holidays that's great too. I think putting too much pressure on myself makes me sabatoge myself.

Lets find a way to do this and keep our peace and sanity. A half pound a week moves us toward goal slowly but surely.
