-37 Pounds

It has been a long dry spell in the weight loss race, but today I am down 37 pounds.  That leave 19 to go in order to reach my goal weight.  I am so stoked.  In order to get my weight loss going again I had to refine my diet not only to low carb but to high quality low carb food.  More vegetables and good cheese, less processed meat.  Processed meats maybe on the way out for me all together.

I may not have mentioned or maybe I have, that I have not been sick one time since I changed my diet.  I have felt like I was getting ill several times, but never actually got sick.  This is an amazing thing because I usually have a sinus infection that turns to bronchitis at least twice usually three times a year.  I am making it though the spring allergy season without getting an infection.  I am taking my allergy medications twice a day, so the diet did not cure the allergies :P

Going to go eat a carrot if I can find one.

Debbie girl !
I have back tracked to read more of your posts here and it is amazing girl : )
You have been accomplishing such a difficult task with a level head and common sense .. I admire the hell out of you girl.
I am in a bad place with my body for some time .. I have a number of auto-immune conditions .. I have to take a lot of different medications including steroids that make weight loss a nightmare .. my goal would also be 50 pounds ..
I have been making myself a soup with loads of fresh bella mushrooms, greens extra .. staying away from refined sugar .. white flower products and bread in general .. my break away treat .. pretzels ? LOL .. even though I crave sugar all the time .. it can drive me crazy .. I will indulge in raisins and walnuts as a treat.
My big problem is activity .. I'm in chronic pain all the time .. but I am hoping that once the weather does make the change I will be out in the garden MOVING my BUTT and the rest of me .. and maybe my time will come too ?
You are AMAZING Debbie !!
Congratulations on what you have done for yourself .. I believe in that statement about being kinder to your body .. my body has been an on going train wreck .. I have to help it .. not curse it ? LOL
