I posted this over in the fifty thread and general intros but I thought I'd say hi here too since I have a lot to lose!

My weight loss is very slow....What keeps me lcing is that I feel so much better eating this way. A little about me....I'm a regular poster on Lowcarb Christians where I've made some good friends. I've been a SAHM most of my life except for very occasional part time jobs while my kids were in school.

My "kids" are now 26 and 21 sons who live at home while finishing college studies. Our oldest is getting married soon to his sweetheart from Korea.
She is kind and helpful and I'm happy for this new daughter who is such a joy to our family. I met my dh when I was 17 and we've been married since 71.

Our other "kids" are our three rescued dogs (ages 17 to 3). I like to garden and work on keeping things up in our old house, read, write and have scrabble tournaments w/my friend Ruth at Arabica.

Its taken a couple of years to lose about 35 pounds and I have a lot more to go....Exercise tones me up and helps me feel energetic but doesn't seem to effect my weight. I am hoping to lower my bp and cholesterol as I continue lcing and be able to eventually stop medicines which control the bp. Anybody out there taking supplements for bp that have seen an improvement? Glad to meet you all and I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Terry aka Flower51

Welcome! I am new here as well, but this seems like a very happy and friendly place to be,there is tons of tools and information here too!

Welcome! I'm a Christian too. There is also a Christian LC thread on this board. It seems pretty cool. One of the ways to get support, and keep on track here is to start a journal. It's free and easy, and a good way to get to know everyone! Feel free to drop by mine and say ! I'm new here too, and love it already.

Hi there! Welcome to the forum and to the TDC!

Glad you could join us!

Hi Terry and Welcome to the TDC! You'll find lots of support here!

Hi Terry, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've read some of your posts before and am happy that you've joined us. Hope to see you around a lot.

Good luck.

Welcome and well met. I earned every grey (silver?) hair on my head as parent and grandparent. :-)
Here is wishing you great health and happiness!

Welcome to the TDC and congratulations on your success at weight loss so far!

I'm not 50 yet, but I will be in a couple of years, and I think that weight loss just goes slower for those of us who are somewhat older. Fortunately, I think that most of us also develop patience as we age, so that helps us deal with the slower weight loss.

I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the TDC.

Welcome aboard Terry. Congratulations on all your hard work so far!

hello.. and glad you are posting here as well.. I look forward to getting to know you better
