I'm a little over three months out and have lost about 57 lbs.  I am within 10 lbs of onederland and can almost taste it!  I've gotten a lot of comments on how great I look, how much I've lost etc. Now it seems everyone notices which is great.  When they ask how I did it I say low carb, lots of protein and exercise.  All true :-)  I feel like the scale is stuck for weeks now, but I have lost a bunch of inches since I last measured so that was exciting.  I did my exercise this a.m. and am going to really try to step that up, the skin is really saggy so I need to build some muscle especially in the bad wings and ab region.  I tried the eliptical for the first time today and it's way harder than a treadmill!  I could only do 5 min but then switched to the treadmill and free weights to finish.  I'll add a minute a day and eventually get better.  It's sure a good workout though, I had sweat POURING off me.  I had a lot of birthday cake in my house last week due to my twins turning 10, we ended up throwing away a LOT of cake, it's the first time ever.  I just didn't want it and when I did have some I'd just have a bite and that was plenty.  Our garden is very plentiful and we are eating lots of veggies.

Guess that's the scoop, hope you all are doing well and enjoying summer :-)
