Okay, you guys, I am not at all trying to talk you into low carb, BUT I do think that a lot of people find it easier to stick to than a higher carb/low cal plan even though, and probably because, they love carbs. When I eat carbs I never feel satisfied and just want more, more, more. But when I'm not eating them I don't think about food much at all.

NC, I sure hope there's a huge whoosh at the end of this tunnel!

Thanks very much! And Ribidoux, I asked for advice! If the advice happens to be low carb, that's fine! :D I appreciate it! I FINALLY got under 169 today but I'm not gonna get my hopes up! My goal makeup I ordered 3 weeks ago when I got to 170 arrived today...maybe it was waiting for the prize to arrive before letting me lose the next 5?!

Oh fun! I want some goal make-up!!! I did recently go through a little splurge of rewards, though. I may need to actually lose a few more pounds first. ;)
