Hello, fellow low carbers
I'm new to this message board and want to say hello and thank you for the welcome.
Although I'm new here, I'm definitely not new to low carbing. I'm following Atkins. So far I'm quite satisfied with the results.
I was on Atkins in the 70s when I only had 30 pounds to lose and got my goal in about 3 months, then the negative news hit that it was sooooo bad for you and I stopped. I yo-yo dieted myself up to an incredible 253 pounds until the fall of 2000. In about 8 months I shed about 60 pounds but for one reason or another I got way off track and gained almost all my weight back in two years.
Last Feb I got back on that proverbial wagon and haven't looked back since. Well, I guess I did glance back a couple of times when I went off track for special occasions. So far I'm down 70 pounds to 177.
This time around I know this is the way eating for me for the rest of my life. I know I'm a carb addict and I've proved time and again that I cannot eat carbs like I used to.
A bit about me......
My name is Suzanna and I'm a 52 (almost 53) year old mother of three and grandma to three. I'm happy living with the most wonderful man in the world for the past almost 7 years. He loves me and thinks I'm beautiful no matter what the scale says. We have a pooch baby called Beau.
Life is good.
I'm looking forward to sharing my weight-loss journey with all you lovely people.
