I think the collective knowledge from people who have gone before, or are walking the pathway along beside me, is awesome and invaluable!

Everyone reacts a little differently emtionally and physically to aspects of this new lifestyle and it's reassuring to have a 'heads up' on any possible complications BEFORE you run into any of them yourself.

I feel so much more informed every day when I read other's postings.

PS I love the recipe boards!!! I've discovered the joy of cooking again and am turning quite domestic once more! Plus hubby loves all the low-carb recipes so far. Bonus!!!
