I have been low carbing for about 5 weeks, and have lost nearly 40 pounds. I do have a long way to go though, and the support from this board appears to be nothing short of fantastic.

I feel like I'm on a good roll right now and the devil himself couldn't get me to cheat.

I'm looking forward to being a member of this great group. I feel fortunate to have found it.

Heydey hey Gator,
Good to see you're already doing so well. Five weeks and 40 pounds!!! That is just amazing. What plan are you doing? I'm unfamiliar with "High-Energy".

I am glad you found this forum. It has helped many of us keep on track and continue to learn how to make this a way of life. We all have a long way to go in the triple digit club, but it's good to be among friends. Victoria

Hi Victoria! Thanks for the reply.

Hi-Energy is a local low carb weight loss clinic here on the Gulf Coast. I think they have clinics in several other states, but couldn't tell you where.

Though it's low carb diet, I think it has more carbs than the Atkins diet.

It sort of goes like this:

Breakfast: protein/40 cal wheat bread/supplement
Lunch: 4 oz protein/ 1fruit/1 cup vegetables/supplement
Dinner: 4 oz protein/4 oz salad/1 cup vegetables/40 cal wheat bread/supplement
Lots of water

Write down everything you eat
Weigh in 3 times a week
Bring in urine specimen twice a week
Blood pressure once a week
Measurements every 3 weeks
Complete blood work every 6 weeks

It is a lot of support, but there's nothing like talking to a group of fine people that are going through the same thing.

It's great to be here. I will try to provide positive input at every opportunity.

Hey Gator
I'm a newbe as well, welcome to the club...hope to hear from you often.


Dee

Thanks Dee, I appreciate the kind words.

I'll be looking for you!
