Welcome to the forum Lori!

Have you poked around in all the nooks and crannies? There's tons of info here.

Advice?

Don't think about it as a diet, but as a lifestyle change. Take as long as it takes to reach your goal. Only weigh yourself once a week and don't obsess on every twitch of the scale. Read lots of different low-carb books. Every time you fall off the wagon, just get back on. Look around you everyday and think of all the things you have to be grateful for.

How's that?

Karen
