Yep.....it's quiet all right.  
But I'm glad to be here!!
I've been losing weight through a low-calories diet high in protein and  fiber.  Nothing crazy- just healthy food.
I tend to undereat, as I've been under terrible stress for the last few months.  I definitely feel that my metabolissm has slowed down due to this... I try to rev it up with exercise when i can...but I have four kids, not much time and a tendency to feel depressed.  I know more exercise could help with this, but I often feel like there's just no point....
But I need to keep positive!  i can't believe that I've lost nearly 60 lbs.  And in a short while, i imagine that I'll be jumping over to the 150's thread.  I hope so, anyway
