I dropped most of that weight within 6 months of the diet, and then plateaued, after moving from Jacksonville to WV (and stopped working out - see below). I then started gaining weight after my family doctor put me on blood pressure pills (my high blood pressure is caused by obstructive sleep apnea, not diet), and gained 30 back. I urged him to take me off of the medication, and I have lost 10 of the 30 gained - 110 net loss - not bad.
Lately, I have found that I HAVE started to introduce a small amount of carbs back into my diet, and I have not noticed a weight gain.
What stopped my rapid loss was me stopping a regimen of vigorous aerobic and anaerobic exercise. If we can ever get this portal or ours done, I will get back to it!
