Dedicated to low carb living in Oregon!

Hello! I'm new to this board and am looking for others following a low carb lifestyle to share experiences, recipes, and all around support...it can be so challenging, as we all know!
I've been following a low carb lifestyle for about 8 years now and it's definitely been a journey of ups and downs. I know the diet inside and out and would happy to help answer any questions for people new to the Atkins lifestyle.
My initial experience with Atkins was amazing! I originally started the diet due to infertility issues and after being on the diet for 3 months and losing nearly sixty pounds became pregnant with my second child! The results were amazing. I continued the diet through the duration my pregnancy and after, maintaining a healthy weight with hardly any weight lose after. It was in the next few years to come where I began to struggle with maintaining and staying on such a strict regimen.
I've been on and off Atkins now for the last few years and realize how much harder it is to lose weight once you've done it once. It's so incredibly difficult and challenging to find that healthy lifestyle balance! I have about 30 pounds to lose to get back to where I was before, so hopefully being here will assist and encourage my motivation.
If anyone is interested in sharing ideas, that would be great!
