Hello!
I've been a lurker for a long time, but want to be a bit more involved with the community, before I started commenting and asking questions I'd thought I'd say "Hey!"
I'm 30, engaged, getting married in 5 months.
I've been overweight my whole life, but as I age I've crossed to obese. I feel like age and hormones have really contributed to my weight gain, and I can no longer rely on the "chubby, but pretty" as it's going much closer to "F*%k pretty, you could get diabetes."
I'm currently doing low carb, mostly because in general I like it, it's pretty easy for me to keep calories, cravings, and social eating under control, and it doesn't feel "restrictive" to me. I'd like to transition to paleo/primal over the next several months.
Anyways, so that's me in a nutshell, see you on the boards!

Hi! Fellow low-carb dieter here.
I'm doing keto right now but I've been thinking about moving on over to paleo after I meet certain goals. Adding you!
