Hello All! New to this forum.
 

I live in Charlotte,NC and I'm looking for some low carb buddies. I had my son 3 1/2 years ago, and since then I haven't been able to lose any weight, until now. The low carb way has been the only thing that has enabled me to lose some weight. I do need a buddy though because I cheat too much, I can't help it sometimes, I love cake, bread, pastry, cookies and pizza! :nono: I'm short so when I gain weight you can tell right away, but also when I lose it you can tell right away also. Lately people have been telling me that I look like I've lost weight, that makes me feel really good about myself for the first time in a very long time. I would like to be support for anyone that needs it. I hope to make some lasting friendships here! :daizy:

Welcome Lisa!

There is lots of good information on this site and you will find loads of support. I believe there is even a thread for petite ladies in the 'countdowns, buddies, challenges' section.

Best of luck to you! :yay:

Hi Lisa!

I'm new here too. I am on day 18 of Atkins and can honestly say that I have turned my back on all my old fav's. Some day, after the weight is off, I may choose to work some of them back in ...or not.

I am having a really hard time with not overeating vegetables that are allowed on the plan....right now we have ripe tomatoes from the garden, and I've gone a little over on my carb limit for the past several days. :cry:

I can't imagine what would happen if I took even one bite of something high carb-I'd probably eat till I blew up! :rolleyes:

Anyway, I am short too! And 50 lbs overweight, and over 45 years old! Yikes! I'm really committed to this and I love feeling like I am smaller every morning when I wake up!

Good luck on your journey!

Chris
