Hi Kimbo

Welcome to this forum. As you said it is a great place for support and motivation, not to mention information and advice.

Every success with your low carb way of life. One of the benefits of this WOL is that it reduces depression and gives you a better emotional well being. You probably know already that it is good for lowering blood pressure.

Keep us up to date with how you are getting on. Why not keep a journal on this site of your progress?

welcome! I hope your BP comes down quickly, as many LCers' experience.
