Have not written in a while.  I finally saw the scale move and was down to 148.  I know I am almost to the end of the beginning.  Maintenance will be the hardest.  It is the part I have failed at most in my past.  I am loving my size 6 to 8 body.  However, even seeing pics I don't feel I look that small.  I feel like a 10 to 12.  I  am beginning to get the you do not need to lose any more weight from people including my husband.  Well, I'm 5 ft 4.  I can still lose more and be ok.  I am not in this for looks but for health.  I am happy with this size and and amazed when I put on a pair of size 6 pants that they fit.  I hope the skin tightens up.  I cannot afford plastics.  I am eating well and making good choices.  I let myself indulge every once in while.   I weigh myself everyday.  We are going on vacation in June for 9 days and I plan on taking my scale.  When I don't weigh is when I lose control.  That is what happened in the past.  I have plenty of restriction but carbs go down way to easy.  I stay away from bread, pasta and potatoes.  Cauliflower are my potatoes!  I make them so many delicious ways!!!  I still do protein drinks a few times a week, but rather would have protien that I can chew!  But there are a few that I actually like.  I have not been very good at the exercise part.  I know that if I boost this I will really start loosing more.  My goal was 145.  Once I get there I will revisit a new goal and see If I want to shoot for 135.  However,  I have bought so many wonderful new clothes that I do not want to have to go any smaller in clothes size.  So 145-140 may be my goal range of choice.  Hope everyone else is doing well.  The VGS is choice that is a tool.  It is not magic!  It can mentally challenging and flat out hard work.  I do not regret one minute of it.
