I avoided the scale for 3 months. I was obsessing about those last 3 pounds and wanted to trust what I'd learned about myself and my relationship with food.
My ticker tells the tale. I'm 3 pounds under my original goal weight and have lost 88 pounds since I went off carbs cold turkey on May 23rd, 2011.
Thanks to all of the forum participants for the encouragement and information. I love being part of this community. If you are on the sidelines, come join the fun. I hope we are helping you achieve your goals but participating really helps you keep on track.
I'm off the scale again. I have a couple of pairs of slacks that will provide an early warning if the carbs start creeping back. For a numbers nut like me, this is a big adjustment. I didn't want to see the numbers when I was overweight so I'm sure I can live without them now.
