May I join too?
Hi. I'm diemde and I'm a food-a-holic. I love good food, especially pasta. <sigh> And unfortunately I've passed that old WOE to my 17 yr old daughter. So, we are both relearning a new WOE and both need to join this unique club. I don't know if I'll ever get her to join the boards, but I've been copying things and sending it to her in email. She's finally seeing my success and lowering her carbs.
I'm not doing low carb right now, but just doing "lower carb". My daily goal is no more than 100 carbs and 2000 calories. I'm reading DANDR and may decide to try going low carb later, when/if this plan stalls. My DD probably won't go low carb because she just can't bring herself to eat that much meat and lc veggies. It's been a real struggle to get her carbs down to a reasonable amount, so her daily goal is 150 carbs and 2000 calories. Before she started this, we tracked her carbs and they were well over 300 a day. I would love to hear from any other TDC teenagers who might have some suggestions for her.
I do use fitday.com and it's been a real help. My average is less than 100 carbs per day, so I'm about where I want to be for now. Long term, I'll need to get down to an average of 65 or so per day.
One mini goal I have is to be able to fit my hiney in those small cheap plastic patio chairs people have. Even my mom has them on her patio and she's never noticed that I have to sit on the edge of them when I visit her.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and reading about your success!
