Hi Brandnewday, I'm in the same boat! Lost lots of weight about 3 years ago with Ideal Protein, but couldn't maintain it when I started eating "normally" again. Add a year that included major job stress and a house fire and...well, food has always been my drug of choice!
I'm starting over with a New Weigh program, which reduces carbs, but doesn't cut them (or any other food group) out completely.
This is an awesome site for support, and we can do this!
