Thanks Draglist! I'm super excited. I stepped on the scale in disbelief. I keep expecting it to stop... but so far I'm dropping little by little. :) 

Wow, pizza, would you share that low carb crust with us...have not had pizza since the 25th May...Are you on Atkins Plan, I am and I find I am never hungry or craving things which I am not suppose to eat... I sometimes can't even get to the RDI that I am suppose to be eating...just too much food... I was doing excellent the first month but now I find I am stopping at .02 lbs every week and can't seem to get a better scale weigh in... but I am not giving up NO way...I am so wanting to break out of the 180;s , nearly there, sitting at 181.2.... want to do a happy dance soon..lol......... good luck, you will succeed also have fun with your children in August. :) 

Here is the recipe for the 1 Net carb pizza. I am doing low carb, high fat- so yes Atkins. But I count fiber carbs too and sugar alcohols. They say you don't have to count them, but I was stalled so I count everything. 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 3 eggs 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon basil, optional Toppings of your choice * Mix the cheeses, eggs, garlic powder and basil well. Line a 16-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Evenly spread the cheese mixture in the pan, almost to the edge, making it as thin as possible. Bake at 450º 15-20 minutes until golden brown. I suggest checking it after about 10 minutes. If it's getting very dark on the edges and top, turn the oven down to 400º and continue baking until brown all over and no longer pale on the bottom. Pat off any excess grease then add your toppings. Keeping the oven rack in the center position, put the pizza under the broiler until the toppings are hot and any cheese you added is melted and bubbly, about 4-5 minutes. Makes 8 servings Can be frozen * You may want to sauté your mushrooms, peppers and other vegetable toppings before using because the pizza will only be baked briefly with the toppings on. I also recommend pre-warming any meat toppings as well. I put all of my toppings, except the sauce and cheese, in a big skillet and heated them up together. Crust only: Per Serving: 176 Calories; 14g Fat; 12g Protein; 1g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 1g Net Carb  

I had to bake mine for 25 minutes and it was crispy.. loved it. And its 1 Net carb per pizza slice of crust. Toppings may change the carb content depending on what you put on.  

Thank you Deborahg382 for the 1 Net carb pizza recipe, I am sure I will enjoy this very much, it sounds delicious..sometimes it is nice to have a variety in food choices.. :)
