My husband and I have been pretty sick with a cold and it is one of those colds that lingers on and on. I think I am finally on the mend but my head still hurts if I move too fast or cough. I am not one to be sick very often or to catch things. Most of the time I am not around too many people but my husband brought it home from the guy we buy hay from. Thanks honey....

So, here I am, a year and two weeks into low-carbing for the second time in my life, and I have lost a total of 93 pounds!!! I have done everything I needed to do and I am so happy to come back here and report my success to you all! I started out at 282 lbs and I am now 189 lbs. I want to lose about 40 more lbs my goal of 150.

I have unfortunately hit plateau, so a week ago I started Induction again and so far I've lost a little bit of water weight and I'm hoping it will kick-start ...
