Default Room for One More?

Hi. Just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I have been Doing low carb (for a second time) since Jan. 6. I teach school and wanted to start after the Holidays. I say this is my second go-round because I did low-carb around 5 or 6 years ago and did really well. The problem is that I had a hard time staying with it because my husband was doing a low fat diet. The two don't mix.
I'm not sure of my start weight because my scale only went up to 320, so I tried to move the needle a little, but that didn't work either. So my start weight is just a guess. I can get on that scale now, though!
Well, just wanted to say "Hi" and will try to answer any questions I can. BTW. I was able to convince my husband to try low carb also. Now he's hooked. He has lost around 18 lbs. and is about halfway to his goal weight of 180. He will get there long before I will. I want to get to 200 by Christmas. A reasonable goal, I think. Just taking it one day at a time and looking forward to summer break.

Hope all is well.

It would be great if you started your own journal, I wanted to come and "visit" you and introduce myself, since I also started at 340#, and am also in PA, and although I don't own 3 dogs... I do own 3 boys

You're doing fantastically, BTW... we started 1 day away from each other, and you're hot on my tail!!

Hugs,

Karen
