edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm a 41 year old mother of a 16 year old and a 4 year old. After my second daughters birth I ballooned to almost 218lbs. I successfully lost about 15lbs on a low carb diet but found it way too hard to stick to. I recently stumbled upon this website and I am absolutely hooked. Not only that but I now have recruited 4 of my co-workers and their hooked too. I love hearing the success stories and look forward to being able to post my own soon.

    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    I did the carb thing off and on for years and found it gets really boring:yawn:

    I love to give tips and they are:
    1) Log it BEFORE you eat it, this can help you make wise choices :tongue:
    2) Weigh and/or measure everything, my eye was much larger than actual amounts :noway:

    Wishing you much success and you CAN do it :drinker:

    Denise,
    I just joined as well. Looks like I'm one of a very few men on this site, but I think I can handle it!!

    This site gives a whole look at the amount of food I was eating. It's going to be tough, but I'm off to a good start!!

    Take care and see you soon,

    Kristian
