Hi from Oklahoma

Hi, I'm Patty, born/raised in southern California, been here in central Oklahoma for ten years now. I've also been trying to lose weight about that long. But this is my year.

Married almost 30 years, three grown kids. I'm an author, and as such I spend a great deal of time sitting in a chair. My main exercise is when I do live events, then I'm going non-stop for eight to ten hours a day.

I used to work out a lot when I was in my early 20's but now I'm in my 50's and so even if I did have the time, to spend that time in a gym doesn't appeal much to me. I've been back and forth on paleo and low-carb diets (and I have a wheat intolerance, so gluten-free) over the years. I just joined up here after deciding to get serious with a low-carb diet and track it as suggested by Lynn Terry's website. So far I like this site pretty well!

Anyway, I'm fairly reclusive so I may or may not be around here much, but I want to get into the good habit of tracking what I eat and what I do, do the low-carb thing consistently, and see where it takes me. I have forty pounds to lose this year and I plan on doing it.

Hope to get to know some of you!
