I'm not at goal, yet, but I'm taking some time to celebrate 26 pounds gone forever. It's taken 3 1/2 months.

Once I figured out the right strategy, it wasn't even that hard. I used to think losing weight was impossible, but now I know it isn't. How exciting is that!!

I started with Atkins and have given up most grains, most of the time. I now consider myself low-carb. I still will have an occasional bagel, if I want it, but most of the time I don't. I have logged religiously in the past, but find I don't have to as much, now that this is becoming a lifestyle change. I do come back to MFP every so often for a reality check.

Love MFP and the support!
