Greetings everyone!

I've only just started today with the low-carb thing after a friend at school was raving about it. She had lost 25 lbs in the last month or so and it got me interested. I've done a lot of reading on the internet today about low-carb and all of the great advice in this forum. It seems really strange to start a diet that is so opposite of every other diet I've ever been on (mostly low fat diets).

Went to the grocery store and bought a ton of meat, eggs and cheese (what fun!) and a supplement (Low-Carb Solutions). Have made my resolution to cut out the Diet Dr. Pepper and am happily slurping down water.

I'm currently at 181 lbs and want to get down to the 120's. I looked really good when I was 125 and I'd love to be able to wear those clothes again. I realize I probably won't lose as much as my friend did as quickly as she did, since she is a bit more overweight.

So anyways, glad to be here.

P.S. One question....what about spices? Can I put steak seasoning on my steak and use salt?
