I don't mind sharing... of course, I've lost weight, so perhaps that's why!
I'm female, 5'5", approximately 149 lbs. (up from 143). I began eating lower carb in February 2005 & lost about 50 lbs., but during the Christmas season ('06), I began splurging (which I didn't think I'd ever do)... it was the Christmas Tea at my kids' school that did me in! I usually have a lot of will-power and refuse sweets, despite my intense "sweet tooth," but gave in to those Christmas cookies anyway.
When the Christmas cookies didn't seem to cause a weight gain, I decided that eating potato chips wouldn't hurt either - so... well... I'm now up 6 lbs.
THEREFORE, I'm back to strict low(er) carb again and plan to stick to that way of eating for life. I don't think I'll "splurge" again, as I prefer to be thinner & I just generally feel better when I keep the carbs/sugars low.
BTW, I opened this thread while eating some low carb chocolate, which I made:
4 T coconut oil (melted)
2 T cocoa
1/4 C Davinci's White Chocolate flavored (sugar free/Splenda sweetened) syrup
1/8 t liquid Stevia
1.5 T peanut butter
Mix all of the above well, spread on parchment paper, freeze - eat.
Tastes great, is low carb, curbs the chocolate cravings, plus I get the benefits of coconut. Can't complain!
