start losing? I have been able to maintain my weight just fine by low carbing and TSPing. I have been working toward my goal weight loss of 30 lbs. for a year + and lost 20 lbs (first with somersizing level 1--lost 15 , then TSP lost 5, but am finding that I have to limit my daily calorie intake and exercise consistently to have lost another lb.

Also I cannot stomach full fat dairy anymore, such as cream cheese, anything but low fat yogurt or skim milk. I don't mean it makes me physically sick (vomiting) -- I just haven't any appetite for it, but I like those items-- so I guess I will consume some 'damaged' fats. I still eat a pat of butter daily and just count it in my daily count. I exercise consistently both cardio and strength training, but just *have not * been able to *lose* the last few months without counting calories! I do follow the good advice/guidelines of TSP, though.

I just wondered if others have adapted any part of the plan and felt successful. I find I do not mind counting calories as much as I used too and certainly do not feel hungry.
