Hey All!
 

I have been lurking around here for a couple of days and I am SOOO excited to find this place!!! The resources are wonderful and the vibe is completely positive...I LOVE IT! I have been LC since September and have lost nearly 30 pounds. (I slowed down a little during the holidays!) The good thing though is that I'm still REALLY happy with my success and I have not felt discouraged or guilty! For the first time I truly feel and believe that this is a lifelong process and that time is not really an issue. I continued to eat LOWER carb even on Christmas when a took in a few extra sweets. This state of mind has helped me not fall into the downward spiral of "dieting/binging", you know?

Anyway, I'll stop rambling! I just wanted to say "hi" and let ya'll know that I'm here!

I look forward to talking with you all!

Peace,
Tesia

Welcome Tesia!
Your picture is lovely!! Almost 30 lbs gone is GREAT accomplishment! Way to go! You have done so good so far and I have no doubt you'll keep it up! This board is a great resource so poke around the forums and check it out. If you haven't started a journal, you should. It helps keep track of what you're eating and how you're feeling. It is neat to read back after a while and look at how far you've come.

Just wanted to say hi!!!

Peace and balance,
Tesia
