Hi all. I found your forum last night and just wanted to introduce myself.

I have a weight problem and I've decided to do something about it. I'm looking forward to getting support from this board because I know I won't be getting it at home.

I haven't started a program yet - I've been checking out different programs and have basically narrowed it down to one or two. However, I have set March 1st as my begin date. I'm 50 years old and live with my mother. When I came home from work last night and announced that I wanted to start a program, she laughed at me. She laughed because I have no will power, I love my sweets, breads and pastas and because I set a start date 10 days away instead of saying I'm going to start today.

However, March 1st has significance for me - it's the day that I start regularly scheduled hours at work (instead of "floating" whenever they need me) so I think it will be easier to follow a disciplined eating schedule while maintaining a regular work schedule. It will also give me a chance to look over different food recipes and find those that will be easiest to prepare while sticking to a low carb menu.

Here's hoping that I succeed!

Welcome to the board janswizard! This is a great place for support and all around sweet people. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Someone will be along soon after you post the questions, to help you out. I too don't have much willpower and I can safely say that without this board I don't think I could make it. I have a very supporting husband but he doesn't need to lose weight and it helps to talk to those that are in the same boat. Good luck and I know you can do it!

Welcome! You will find lots of support here.

Keep trying! You can do it! Stay strong! I bid you good luck and success in your journey.

Janiswizard...welcome !

Good Luck on Mar 10th!
