I have been about 175lbs now for well over a year , however my body fat
% is gradually improving so I am now about 25.5% down from well over 46%
[46 was the first time I checked after losing for about 6 weeks]
I don't really think my weight will reduce much - I am a very muscular
woman and I find it very easy to gain muscle but my body fat percentage
will probably get a little lower as time goes on.

many people started on this path from multiple health problems so
refining our diets may well make a difference.

My social life is fine - I often eat before we go out if I don't know
what will be served. I take nuts and water with me if I will be out for
a while.
Eating this way has improved my life markedly and I don't 'cheat' since
that ultimately affects my health.
