Well, since I just posted a question, I thought it appropiate to give a brief intro of myself.

I'm 35 and have been heavy all my life (10# baby). My mother died two years ago of a major heartattack. She had no symptoms, no warning. Her cholosteral was well within normal range. Her only precursor was diabeties which everyone in her family has. So, I want to prevent it and an early death (she was only 65).

I'm not really following a program, I do watch my carbs but have not really committed completely to a program. One thing I don't know if I can give up is my piece of bread for bkfst. I make my own whole wheat bread, it has honey instead of refined sugar and I put a little butter and a Tbl or more of flaxseed meal on top. It is wonderful.

That's pretty much me in a nutshell.
