noticed that I'm not as big as I used to be. As I was going into church yesterday, my assistant pastor's wife said, "You look like you've lost weight." Anyway, that just made me happy.

22 pounds down.

Thanks guys. Hubby said, "You seem so much happier this time than when you normally are trying to lose weight (in other words - so glad you aren't the emotional grouch you usually are when dieting.) It's like I told him - this is something I actually can envision doing for life. I've done low carb before and done great then gained every single pound back and then some. I love cooking and food so it's just not realistic for me to spend my entire life without chocolate, pasta, bread, etc. This way if I want chocolate I have a LITTLE with a big bowl of strawberries or something, if I want pasta I have a couple of forkfuls mixed with a little tomato sauce and LOTS of veggies.

So from me and my hubby - thanks MFP and all my great, wonderful encouraging new friends.
