I have been lurking for awhile, and have started my program today. I am on a sorda combination plan. I have taken the principles of sommersizing and atkins. I am food combining, but with little carbs.
I am 27 and a stay at home mom with my own business. I used to be a chef, so that started my weight gain. I was thin in high school and my first 3 years of college. I say that i was thin, but i worked very hard at it, and was what i would call anorexic. I had a little girl in april 2001, and have never lost the weight. I have been happy being overweight, but i had a get-together with my best friends from high school a couple of weeks ago, and they all look great after kids. This got me thinking that i am ready to lose that weight! DH also gained a lot of weight with the pregnancy, so he is doing this with me,(very important i think). It always helps to have a partner. Well, that is me and i hope to be talking to all of you in the future. This seems like a wonderful place to make friends and get support!

Hi Erin, and welcome!

Best of luck in getting yourselves into good shape. Hope you experience all the other health benefits of low carbing, too!

Enjoy!

Hey, that's great that your DH is doing this with you. Welcome to the board and the way of eating. With both of you on LC, you won't have to have any carbs in the house. Throw out the carby snacks and temptations. Just have protein and the things you have decided fit into your plan in the house.

Be prepared that DH will lose faster and more easily than you do. Men are just like that. (Don't hate him. We each lose at our own rate.)

All the best.
