In fact, I usually have to do it SEVERAL times before I get to where I'm going. Hey, I’m not afraid to ask for directions.

As my wife reminds me though, it takes a real man to be tough enough pull over and ask a stranger for directions when he gets lost (LOL)!

And I hope the use of the word "wimp" was not insulting. But you have these people who try to go it alone and think they're gonna keep themselves accountable. Sadly, most cannot. But, you are exactly right! It DOES work for you and I applaud your for your efforts to lose weight the low-carb way without telling anyone. I must say you are in the great minority because most successful losers (or winners, depending on your perspective) have strong support. I'm proud of you and don't want to take away anything from your success. CONGRATULATIONS! SeaKay,

If they want more info, I'm more than happy to explain. The naysayers I just ignore. People watching your back is helpful. I have great support at my local Curves gym. Monthly weighins/measurements keep me in check. I think either way-keeping quiet or yelling from the rooftops-as long as your livin the low carb way, just do it!!!

Your comment "At the same time, some people don’t do well getting their weight business out in the open because they allow others to begin criticizing their efforts which then discourages them from trying as hard as they should. People who are sensitive to this kind of thing are what I describe as weight loss wimps." trivialises the pain that some are people feeling. Yes, you have done wonderfully. That doesn't mean that because I don't brag, that I am not doing wonderfully. I am having more succss now than ever because I decided not to tell anyone about my change in lifestyle. Most people are very unobservant and don't notice what you are doing. They are too wrapped up in their own lives. I have lost nearly 66 lbs over the last 18 months andpeople are only now starting to notice. Nobody comments on what I eat, nobody tries to sabotage me, nobody gives me a hard time because, in their eyes, I am not succeeding. Why? Because they don't know I am trying to lose weight. For the first time in forty years I am in control, I know what I am doing and I AM NOT TELLING A SOUL. And I am succeeding. The same way as you accept that low fat (heaven forbid) is ok for some then you have to accept that keeping it secret is ok for some. I am NOT a wimp.
