Hi Tammy,
I live in Wooster, OH & I just started the Atkins diet back on December 18th. I would be happy to correspond with you! I need some support & encouragement because I seem to have reached a plateau. You are doing great - down 30 lbs! Congratulations!

[TammyL]

I would be happy to be your buddy, just hang in there u will start to lose again.

hello,
I live in Columbus Ohio and I'm a newbie!! I would love to chit chat and stay connected with some people in my same general area. I'm looking forward to hearing from you guy's and I hope that you are both doing great!!!!

[TammyL]

I would love to stay in touch you are only 2 hour away from me

[nOcaRbgurL]

Hi TammyL!!
Yeah, it would be so cool to stay in contact with you so I could also have someone to go through this with. I do have to be honest, I've "supposedly" started the LC diet a few days ago and i've slipped a couple times, but I really would like to get back on and start from scratch. How long have you been on the LC diet? How much have you lost? Is it worth it? Well, I hope to hear from you soon, in the meantime, take care and good luck.
:D

[TammyL]

I think it is worth it I have lost over 55 pounds and some days are better than others, even to this day I will slip up but I get right back on and start again.You can did it too I have confidence in you anytime you need to talk I am here.

[nOcaRbgurL]

That's cool that you are here for people. I hope you have much success with the program and that it somehow comes to me. By the way, do you know where i can get the ketosis sticks at?

[TammyL]

No I don't know where you can find the ketosis sticks I don't use it. But remember when ever you need an ear I am here for you.

[nOcaRbgurL]

Thank you so much, I appreciate a lending ear when i need one. So, what are you looking forward to with LCing?

[TammyL]

I can't wait to fit into my old cloths before I had my kids. What are you looking for with LCing?

[nOcaRbgurL]

hi TammyL
I'm looking forward to fitting into my size 6 clothes that i used to wear and feel good about my body. I've never been this big in my life and i want to go back to how i was. I'm a very self-conscience person and with losing weight, i'll get that newfound love of myself, hopefully. I started over and I'm on day 3 of LCing and I feel really good. I'm proud that when i went to the mall that i didn't give into temptation because i would have been so upset with myself. Maybe because i saw so many thin people that i wanted to keep myself in track. Well, good luck to you in the LC program, I know your weight loss is a good motivation for you. After my 2 week mark, i'll weigh myself again and let you know. thanks for your support and i'll talk to you soon.

[TammyL]

Please do keep me informed I know that together we can do this.

[nOcaRbgurL]

Hi TammyL
just want to say that i'm in my 4th day and i couldn't be more happy. Let's both keep up the good work and i'll talk with you soon.

[TammyL]

Great going keep up the good work, I am suppose to weigh in the morning I will let you know how I did

[nOcaRbgurL]

Hi Tammy,
It's day 5 of my LC WOE and although I want to weigh myself, I am going to stop and only weigh myself once a week. This constant weighing myself everyday and seeing the lbs flucuate has kinda upset me and I'd rather wait untill the 1 week mark. I'll keep you posted.

[Laurie H]

Hi to all of you fine people from Ohio!!
My name is Laurie and I'm from Cincinnati. I'm in my sixth week of low-carbing...I've never felt better in my life but do get frustrated because I'm still craving sugar!! I don't miss the starches at all! I lost 15 lbs in 4 weeks, the last two weeks I've stayed the same. I have a long way to go and need alot of support. I would like to keep in touch with any or all of you!!
Have a great day!! :)
Laurie

[nOcaRbgurL]

Hi Laurie,
It's day 13 of my LCin' and I feel pretty good. I'm definitely here for any support that you may need. I've lost 8lbs since starting, but like i knew it would, things have slowed down for me. I'm not stopping though, I am going to continue and get down to the weight that I want. I just want to get back to my normal weight and be healthly. Good luck to you and we're here for you!!
