Hello to everyone. My name is Alice, I have been on The Type II Diabetic Diet since April 11, 2003. It is the easiest diet I have ever tried. To date, I have lost 95 pounds. I feel wonderful and have dropped my cholesterol 57 points. My osteoarthritis is less painful then ever before.

I have been having a rough time searching and trying to post to this list. But it seems that I have finally made it!

I Live in the Schenectady, Albany area of New York. I am 45 and have a husband and 2 kids. Any one close by? Would love to see if anyone has some tips for staying low carb.

Thank you to everyone who has posted to this as it has been an interesting find. (I have been searching for the right place on the web for a few weeks now)

Thank you all again. Will be watching and reading.

Hi there. Welcome aboard! Congratulations on your improved health!!

My dad used to go to Schenectady regularly on business. He liked the area, and brought my mom along on a few trips.

Enjoy the forum! I found it tricky at first, too. Now it's a breeze.

Hi Alice Mary, welcome to the forum. Congrats on the successful weightloss. You are doing so well and in such a short time. Sorry I don't live in NY but am in Maryland. I see you already went to the US group, hope you find someone soon, if not we are all here for you. Good Luck and continued success on your LC plan.

Thank you for the warm welcome. As to Kristine, I went to Niagara Falls for the first time 2 years ago-absolutely LOVE it!!

AmberAA1, I have some friends who live near D.C., also have done the LC WOE. Hope to see you guys around. I still have about 20 to 30 pounds to go yet to get to where I need to be. Amber, You're doing your own thing, what types of foods are you eating?

Thank you again, all have a good day. Stay healthy.

Alice Mary
