Thanks for these sites. All help appreciated! Good luck!

These are such inspiring posts! I tried the Leto woe a couple of months ago then gave up before I had any of the benefits. The carbs (and old habits) were calling me! I’m going to start again as I’ve realised that the perpetual low level headache that I have actually improves when I eat less carbs. It seems to be a brutal…

Hi! Tried and failed but I want to try again!

I joined today and this seems like a really supportive group! Good luck everyone.

I don’t find the evenings too hard but I do struggle at lunchtimes when I’m on my own at home. With no one to see what I’m scoffing!

My Fitbit shouts at me to do extra steps too. It does keep me focused!

Thank you! Just got back from a SW meeting and feeling really inspired. And hungry!!!

Bournemouth here!

Thanks again for your ideas and comments. I do eat quite a lot of nuts and eggs! I'm not calorie counting and I'm only being strict for the first couple of weeks. I'm feeling really good with how its going. It's only my first week. Good luck to you all.

Hi. Veggie for 26 years. I love tofu and Quorn. And veggies. And I get lots of eggs from my turkeys, chickens and ducks. Inert a lot of omelettes! Good luck.

I'm not vegan but am vegetarian. I'd like to be vegan but I have come across similar attitudes that you have. My mother gave me a free range chicken and said I had to eat it because it had 'had a nice life!' She really wasn't happy with me when I refused. Count me as a friend anyway!

Hi. It's my first weigh in today SW 155lbs GW 136lbs I've gradually put on weight and now that it's bothering me I'm going to do something about it for good! I'm eating low-carb at the moment and shall see how it goes!

Nice to meet you Heather. I'm a Heather too! I also have four children and I'm eating low-carb meals at the moment. How strange!!!

Fantastic! It sounds like you've got this in the bag! I remember how I felt when my kids were young. Please feel free to add me as a friend. Its good to share ideas and motivation. All the best.

Hi Betty. Welcome.

Welcome. I'm new too, and a cancer survivor! I'm 57 and currently eating low-carb meals as I'm borderline diabetic. Diabetes isn't going to get me either! I've just joined a gym too. I've thrown myself into it but wish I could workout and breathe at the same time! We need a sense of humour! I'll send you a friend request.…

Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm 57 and live on the south coast of England. I'm eating a low-carb diet at the moment and its good to have friends to support you. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Good luck. You can do it! I'm eating low-carb meals at the moment. I also have about 20 pounds to lose.

Hi! What a fantastically hectic life you have! Mine isn't so stressful but I used to teach kids so I know all about stress! I live on the south coast of England. I spend my days looking after grandchildren, my vegetable patch and animals. I'll send you a friend request. Good luck - you CAN do it!

Its great to know that there are like-minded people out there. I really appreciate your comments and support.

Thank you rheddmobile. Its good to hear your advice. I have started going to the gym recently and I'm determined to get a grip on my eating habits. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

Count me in!

I've got a Fitbit Charge and its so useful. You will really enjoy using it!

Hi. I'm 57 and I've got about 20 pounds to lose too. Perhaps we can support each other! All the best.

I'm back again too! I really want to succeed this time. We all can do this if we support each other. Please feel free to add me as a buddy

Hi kabubify Good to hear from you. I’m not really doing percentages but for my first couple of weeks I’m aiming for at least 60g protein and about 20g carbs a day. I eat more fat to keep the calories up. I’m eating Greek yoghurt, eggs etc until it’s coming out of my ears!

This sounds like a plan! I’m in! I usually do about 10000 steps a day.

I’m the same! It’s a new start for me too. Good luck.

Hi. I started eating low- carb a few days ago as I've been diagnosed as being pre-diabetic. Very new to this woe but happy to embrace it! All the best to you all.

Hi. I started on Monday and I'm feeling much better today. I'm trying this woe as I've just found out that I'm pre-diabetic. I'm also vegetarian. I'd like to be part of your support network. I shall send you both friend requests!
