Hello all

I just wanted to introduce myself and I wonder if I'm the first low carber to post from Africa!!

I'm originally from the States, and am now here working for a humanitarian organization. As I've worked my way up the the ladder and the positions became more comfortable--I've also managed to gain quite a bit of weight. Now I'm looking to work my way back to my Peace Corps weight of 125--which was the best I've ever felt. I'm also looking to better manage the stress of the job through exercize and generally better coping mechanisms.

I picked up DANDR while I was in South Africa over the holidays, and decided to give it a try. I know others who were successful as well.

So, thanks for reading and all the inspiration that you've provided while I was lurking here!!

I am glad you have come out of lurkdom! Welcome.
