Thanks Ray and Diane! I was just thinking Diane, it is much better to be a ROLE model than a ROLL model! LOL

Kathy, sounds like you're having a good time. Tell Fred he needs to whip up a batch of low carb Creme Brulee for you!!! ;)

Wendy, I am also a big time carboholic. Is it here, I'm supposed to say, My name is Don and I am a Carboholic? LOL It is kind of like a junkie or alcoholic kicking an addiction. Unfortunately you still have to eat though, so I too had to learn a whole new way of eating, but I am really enjoying it. No refined sugars, no refined flour, and no highly glycemic veggies. However, I can still have my wine in moderation (thank goodness ), and I just have to watch and have control over my carb intake. However, I have found that just about anything that you can fix, you can make low carb with some adjusting. Yes Kathy, even Pasta Carbonara! LOL Like the fried chicken that we had Friday night. We just used soy flour instead of white flour!

Just a little success story to share. Last night I went to our local department store in order to pick up a shirt that I need for our annual meeting this week, since my current shirts (with all the weight loss) now look more like tents rather than shirts! LOL So, I went to the big and tall department as I have for the past couple of decades, but now I found that I had to go to the regular mens section in order to find anything to fit. Yippee, I am no longer in the PLUS sizes!!! I'm finally just a regular guy!!!
