First and foremost, i dont know how it's possible but i am already feeling better, feeling encouraged and feeling ready to start my permanent weight loss journey. I understand that it's a long road to success but your support has already done wonders.

i usually dread going to the grocery store, i am actually excited now to go and read nutrition labels!! I am excited to get information and learn more about lowcarbing and to hopefully get rid of my low fat, high carb diet for good. (something i should have done a long time ago)

thank you for your support and encouragement. I am looking forward to sharing my successes with you all and hearing yours. i actually took notes when reading the replies to my posting. Thanks for all the great tips especially the one about avoiding the center aisles in the grocery store!! just do the perimeter.

i am going to look into atkins and the zone...does anyone else have any other recomendations?
