Hello hello!

lady_daraine

I just joined because a friend at work suggested we get on here to lose some weight! I follow a low-carb, paleo-style diet, so my foods and limits won't match most of what people are doing, but I am looking to support and be supported so that is what matters. I also have a blog, http://www.antihousewife.com/ where I post things that interest me and recipes I come up with (which are mostly low carb and high fat, just so you know before you check it out).
I'd love to make some more friends, especially if there is anyone else who is following a low-carb diet style as well. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! :flowerforyou:
You will be glad you joined this community. I'm working hard on eating "real" and healthy. That means I cook more than EVER b4 but I'm doing great so far. I did South Beach in 2004 and was very successful, but when I strayed - It only took 8 months or so to gain it all back....boo hoo :ohwell:
So I'm focused on keeping it real - but yep I do watch the carbs - they are evil! :devil:

Thanks for the replies! So far things are going okay - I'm starting to get a little tougher on myself. I didn't want to go all out on the first day, since I know myself well enough to know to "wean" onto a diet. So far, so good!
