Hi everyone

I'm new here. I was refered to this website by one of your existing members. The first time I actually visited this website was yesterday and may I say, I think this is a great website. It has so much information on low carb eating. I think it's fantastic.

I'm from Malaysia. I'm 31 years old and have had a weight problem since I was 19. My current weight is 170lbs and my goal is to lose about 55 - 60 lbs. I only found out about the Atkins diet a few months ago (it's still not very well known here - people are still into low fat diets). Over the past 12 years, I've tried all kinds of diets and usually manage to lose some weight but after a while, it's just too difficult to stay on the diet and I gain whatever I've lost. It's all very frustrating and I almost gave up on losing weight altogether.

Anyway I'm glad to be a member of ths forum.
