Thank you.

Since I've started I've followed my plan rigorously, not
really having wavered too much since I started...other than
around Christmas where I stayed within carb limits but ate
significantly more calories than at all other periods since
I started eating LC.    It hasn't been easy but it has been
steady.  Actually, partially scratch that as, compared to
every past effort at calorie control on a low-fat diet this
has been a walk in the park.  I'm actually slowing down now
in my weight loss, intentionally, as I try to zero in on my
final weight and what it will take to maintain.  Having
yo-yo dieted for years I've long been more concerned about
maintaining than losing.

I'm more impressed with your weight loss than with my own;
Keep up your good work.

Thank you.  And thank you to all here who have helped me
every step of the way.

Thanks Curt.  You are actually the one who made me realize
that getting to single digits to go was a worthwhile
milestone to note.  Still feels kind of weird to be so close
after so long.

Thank you.

It really is my pleasure.

Aw, shucks...

I'm very pleased with the progress my wife has made as well,
she is down a bit over 50 pounds at this point.

You, too, are looking fantastic in your latest pictures and,
in my opinion, your progress is excellent.  I realize that
we all want it to come off faster than it actually does but
observable progress is much of what it is all about.  I'm
looking forward to seeing your next round of picture
updates; the difference between your last two was marked.  I
think your summer pictures, not too far away, will show just
as much progress and positive change.  Keep it up.
