Welcome aboard Cathy,

Congrats on weight loss so far. Unfortunately, some of us lose weight slower than others. But as long as we're losing, it's better than gaining!

How about having multiple pals? Check out the Journal/Bootcamp forum for plenty of feedback and support.

You may as well visit the local low-carbers forum, to find members in your area, some of our members manage to arrange meetings and low-carb dinners, such as Vancouver, Toronto and Houston! Pennsylvania members are almost there for a first meeting as well

Keep us posted on your progress!

Wa'il
