511 to 476 in 30 days is awesome! Feel free to friend me if you would like. I am married and don't usually add men but I would love to follow you in your journey.

Thanks for the posts everyone. The past 9 weeks here on MFP have been great and now 72lbs lost I feel really good that this time things are going to stick. No more dieting for me. The changes I've made in my life have been very good so far and losing this weight has made me stronger than I ever thought I could be again. Taking things one day at a time and learning more about who I am and can be everyday.

You are such an inspiration! A few weeks has past since you last posted, LovelessFool, how are you doing? What are your struggles and have you found any good strategies to overcome your struggles?

Keep doing what you have been doing for the last 30 days. That is fabulous progress. You will start feeling better and better and that's such a great motivator to keep going. Set mini goals because it feels great to reach them! Even though it may be uncomfortable to take pics now you will like to see how your body changes over the months. I've lost 48 with 80 more to go. Every once in a while I pick up two 20 lb weights and carry them through the house to remind myself how hard it was physically to carry that much extra weight and the toll it took on my energy every day. I too did research on how carbs affect weight - insulin levels is key for many of us. I love following some of the threads on this website to help keep me motivated too. Some of my favorites is the non-scale victories and what they didn't tell you about losing weight. There is also a low carb group on here that has members who have a wealth of knowledge. You can do this! Look forward to hearing about your progress!
