Good morning.....
I'm new to the boards and am following Protein Power. DH and I started December 4, 2006. He has 50 lbs total to lose; I have 101 lbs total.

DH is in relatively good health but feels better eating less carbs. Me, on the other hand, high-blood pressure, pre-diabetic, traveling down the road to stroke/heart attack city.

DH has lost 27 lbs.. I have lost almost 30 lbs thus far.

I have tried LC before but thought of it as a diet and hence the weight I lost returned and then some. I understand now that I will need to eat a low to moderate carb way for the rest of my life.

It's been tough to find a place to connect with other PPers. A lot of folks are following Atkins. It's a good plan, but PP connects with us more.

Looking forwarding to good health and good conversation with all of you.

Hi Gina...I haven't been able to post much lately, but thankfully I had a minute tonight and stopped by the PP section. Welcome and please, check in with my at my journal and/or here (though I check my journal more often) anytime! Good luck to you and your hubby!

nolagina,

Hi and welcome to the board. I have been on PP Since Jan of 02 and can say it has changed my live very much for the better. You are right, once you go low-carb you have to stay low-carb or you will gain it all back and then some.

Other sources of info on PP are out there. There is a Protein Power forum here:

and Dr. Mike Eades has his own blog that always has good stuff on it.
