I know its pretty meaningless - but its a milestone for me. I have not been in that range for about 10 years.

I only wish I had tried Atkins before - I wasted 10 years being overweight!

Anyway - I feel pretty good these days as I have upped my carbs - probably at about 35-40 each day and I am still losing - I am going into pre maintennace slowly as I really do want to lose the last 10lbs .

I am going to introduce some fruit this week and see how I do. I can finally get low carb bread in my supermarket - last night I had an 8 carb chicken salad sandwich for dinner - my first one since May - it tased sooooo good - and good for me too!

I have gone from size 10 going into 12 to a size 6/8.

I am waiting eagerly for my annual check up results from my PCP - which I should get this week.

Anyway enough of me ; just wanted to share my success for those of you just starting out.

Isn't it so exciting. I am nearing my goal too and cannot believe how great this WOL is. I need to enter the pre maintence phase soon as well. Be sure to fill us in on how the adding of fruits and such worked.

That is great news! Congratulations.
Last week I checked my BMI as well, and was so happy to see that I had dropped from a 26 (overweight) to a 23 (normal).
Feels great, doesn't it?! :-)
Now, let's go get that last 10 pounds....

Hey, don't say that! It means a lot. I think it is a very big deal.

Congratulations!

I think it is a big deal also. i recently went from "obese" to merely "overweight" and i had to post about that, I was so excited. Every little milestone exciting to me.
