I think I spend about an hour to 2 hours here. Once you start feeling comfortable about this woe, i'm sure the time will be a little shorter. Its just nice to have people that understand & care about our weight loss experiences. I truely believe that in about another year or so, there will be more people low carbing than low fatting!! Word is spreading that this is not a fad, this is a woe & a good one too! I'm not new to this woe, but new to expressing my views on what a wonderful way of eating we all have. So what if we have to give up a few "junk" foods. Look at everything else we have to eat. This website, along with low carb friends have been my saviour. Everyone has been so inspirational & helpful.
