Hello everyone!

I am SO happy and excited to have found this site!! It is just what I need!

I think I should have posted here first, but instead jumped right in and started my low-carb journal. It's great to be able to talk about what I'm eating and not be critized for being on this particular WOE.

I'm from S. Cal, but have been living here for the past 13 years. I have 4 kids (ages 17dd, 15 ds, 12dd and 10dd) not to mention dh, two dogs, 3 land turtles and 4 water turtles!!

I did really well on Atkins for abot 9 months, then slacked off, and well, you all know...... the weight starting to suddenly appear! I am totally disgusted with myself for that, but am serious about getting back to this way of life!!

I've got a little brag, too: I've lost 5lbs already and it hasn't even been a week since I started induction!!! YIPPEEE!!! I'm on a roll, now.... and I'm not talking bread, heehee.

I'm looking forward to sharing notes and successes with all of you,

Lorrie
