Welcome to the forum, Teri You'll find a lot of valuable information on this site. And a lot of support. Protein Power has to be one of the best LC books around - it will give you the basis you need to understand why LC is such a great lifestyle choice and why it works so well as a return to health.

I suggest having a good look around the forum; there's a great thread under the Newbies' Questions forum called 'Hot Links!' that provides information on many of the issues that you'll face as you start out on your new WOL (way of life). You should also check out www.fitday.com - it's a free site that allows you to track calories, carbs, activities and your weight. It really helps to get a handle on just what you're eating (and often, not eating).

Happy LCing and best of luck to both you and your Fiancee.
