Hi, everyone! My name is Landon Phelps. I was encouraged by @karlottap to get on here and join this group because it would benefit me extremely with my journey to losing weight and living way more healthier than I am. @karlottap is my mother, and I love her dearly. I used to make fun of her for getting on here and conversing with all of you guys, but now I am on here for guidance and support/help as well. I have always struggled with food, especially the ones with all the carbs. So, you all may add me if you wish, and I hope to receive any kind of guidance I can get. Thanks!

    Welcome and so awesome that you can join your mum on your health journey together.
    Sometimes I find it hard to do what my mum does, even if it makes good sense. Took me ages to be comfortable doing that, so well done for overcoming that barrier. Wishing you every success in your journey.

    Welcome, Landon! I'm getting back in after falling off the wagon recently. This group is phenomenal, full of really supportive, intelligent people.

    We're all here because we all struggle with carbs, or at least did for a long time. I'm reminding myself how it gets amazingly easy to pass them up once you've gone LCHF for a few days.

    Wishing you all the best!

    All my husband does is make fun of me and my "carb cult." Well, I lost 100lbs and am the healthiest I've ever been. So he can go ahead and laugh. :tongue:

    Welcome. It's tricky to get into the groove, but once you do, repetition will make it easy and your new normal. The momentum from the habits you cement will carry you forward, through plateaus and the annoying things life throws at us here and there.

    Use the support you have here. There has never been a bigger carbaholic than myself. I would have never gotten where I am without the invaluable help I got from my support groups and now I'm paying it forward.

    Consistency + Perseverance + Time = Success
    You can do it. And if things get hard, or you are at a loss, we are here for ya. :smile:
