I love carbs and don't intend to give them up. I found I can eat anything I want as long as I workout hard 5 to 7 days a week. I'm 5'5, 125 lbs, and will be 48 years old this week.

I did 700 situps, 700 pushups and walked for 2 hours yesterday. A year ago I could barely walk up a flight of stairs and do 10 situps. I lost 40 pounds by modestly changing my diet and working out. At 45 I was well on my way to 200+ lbs if I didn't change my behavior. I am down to 5'11 and 150lbs. I feel great. I no longer have back pain and knee pains.

Congratulations, I know you have to feel great about your accomplishments! I lost about 36 pounds 2 1/2 years ago because of an illness. When I started to feel better I didn't want to gain it back so I joined the gym.
