Hi Teri, thanks for the advice! My losses have actually slowed down a lot in the past few weeks. I had been thinking that it was either because I'd gotten careless with my carb count, or I had been eating too many low-carb products. It hadn't occurred to me that maybe this is the natural rate for me at this stage of the plan.

I am trying to get strict with carbs again, and no more "frankenfoods," for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference. If not, then I'll know that this is just the way it is for me now. I was planning to slow my pace when I hit 135, but maybe I should get used to losing more slowly sooner than I had hoped. At least things are still moving in the right direction

thanks again, Sarah
