Hi all,

I just got my little one to sleep and if I go downstairs, I'm sure to raid the pantry! So this is my time to surf the web and I was so excited to stumble across this site. I have been low-carb since the New Year and have lost about 10 pounds. I am doing the Insulin Resistance Diet and while I don't think that it will take the weight off as quickly as Atkins, it seems like a plan I can live with. My goal is to lose over 100 pounds and NOT gain it back this time. I lost about 85 pounds 5 years ago and since put it all back on plus about 30 more. So at 5'0" and now 271 pounds, I've got a long way to go and I am happy to have found some folks that share a common goal.

I'm curious, is anyone else following the Insulin Resistance Diet?

Welcome, welcome, welcome! This is a great forum. It has helped me so much with my low-carbing. You can find all kinds of info and support here. Sorry, I don't know about your diet but I can tell you that low-carbing works. We are glad to have you here with us! Good luck.

Welcome to the board!!! You can ask your question in General low carb. You'll probably get an answer there.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you join us here. This is a great thing to do (read the forum) when we feel a moment of weakness . I have heard great things about the Insulin Resistent Diet but I am not terribly familiar with it.

You might consider joining us in the Triple Digits Club. We all have over 100 pounds to lose plus we are joined by fabulous supporters with less to lose. Some of our issues might be unique to our needs and we are a fun group!

Welcome aboard! Orchid

I started the Atkins diet around the same time you started your diet and have lost 11lbs....so I think you found a diet pretty comparable to the Atkins! Congrats and good luck!

Hi and welcome Christy!
I do the same thing when the snacks in the kitchen (especially the cheese doodles) are calling to me. It helps me to surf around the forum and read about other people's successes and grab some support.
Enjoy your time here!
Cheers,
Gypsy

Thanks for all the support!
