HI My name is Kelly, 32 years old mom of three girls, oldest is 7 and the twins are 5. About a year after the twins were born, I found LC and made it my WOE and WOL. I went from 215 to 150. I have slacked off from LC. Too many reasons and excuses to get into here. But no excuse is good enough to allow myself to gain back 10 pounds. So it is time to get off my butt and back on the LC wagon.
I am 5'10 and my goal is 140 pounds. I am currently 158. It is those last 10-15 pounds which are so hard to do. I am confortable with my weight right now, expect for the fact I dance and preform several shows a year. The killer for me was that this year I had to get a larger size for my costume I am hoping to get the weight off and get back into my regular size.
I have the Christmas show coming up in 2 weeks. I am realistic and know I won't "see" any results by then. But I am hoping to "feel" the results. What I really want to get back is that great feeling i had while low carbing. The energy, the thrill of losing weight and overall feeling on top of the world. I truly believe, eating carbs is directly linked to how I feel. When I eat carbs, I "feel" fat and lazy. I want to "feel" thin and full of energy.

Sorry about the long post.
I am committing myself (again) to this WOE.

Hi Kelly and Welcome,

you made a good decision to recommit yourself to this WOL. You will find much information here and the support is great.

Best wishes

Mischa

Like Misha.. I want to welcome you!
May you have the support you need to reach your goals!
Poofie!

I would like to thank everyone who welcomed me to the group. I started tracking my diet at fitday.com I am going to keep a close eye on all those nasty carbs. They creep up in places you at least expect.
I guess I will find a better place to ask this question,
do you count fiber in your total carbs? I have heard some people don't count it and other believe a carb is still a carb no matter what form. Just curious on what everything thinks.

Hi and welcome...
You will find most here do not count fibre. It is thought that fibre does not digest, therefore does not affect blood sugar.

If I may make a suggestion....start a journal. Keep track of your fitday results there...and what you eat...and anything else you want.

Visit other journals and get to know us. You will find a whole bunch of people that will stop by to check on you, redirect you to forums that answer your questions best. Tons of menu ideas, tips and inspiration!

Drop by mine and say hi! You can use to icon at the bottom of the posts, and start yours at bootcamp...

Good luck!

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I started my journal. It is under KellyG5
Don't know if I did it right, but putting down some facts, diet, exerciese etc.

I also have a question, everyone who has a journal has an icon on the bottom to link to their journal, how do you do that?

I made a webpage for my before and after pictures. This is proof, Low Carb does work!

I am struggling with the last 10 pounds. I started to gain a few pounds since the summer so it is time to get back on track.
