Hi all,

This is the first time I have posted a message on a forum, and also the first time I have tried a low carb WOE.
I'm pretty much a veteran at the old way though, having been on low fat for half my life, and having doubled my weight as a result .

I am on day -1 of this lc thing. I'm going to spend tomorrow getting rid of all my carbs, and stocking up on meat, cheese and veges to start in earnest on Sunday (not the cliched Monday!).

It's good to see a 'down under' community on this forum - I don't know anyone else doing low carb, and have never seen or heard of low carb products in this country before. I've already picked up some useful tips from the NZ'ers in this forum.

I've been lurking a bit and have been inspired by some of the successes I've read about - I can't wait to start and have some progress of my own to report.

Cheers

Nesaea
