Hi. I am starting a low-carb diet for the second time in my life. Three years ago, I lost fifty-six pounds that way, but after a divorce and major life upheaval, I have gained back twenty pounds. I feel major fatligue pretty much all the time, whereas I felt great and was bursting with energy eating the lc way. So I am back on the wagon and looking forward to sharing my journey with some new 'friends'!

LowCarbTn... Welcome!!
I'm sorry to hear about you having a rough spot going through the divorce. I am glad that you have made a decision to create a happier and healthier you!! You've found a great forum here to help you do just that.

Are you following a specific plan?

Hi there! I'm a third time around, for various reasons! I think we have the same stats and are about the same size, too.

I never went all the way to my goal, the other 2 times I only went to 140 and just sort of stopped. I seem to get depressed at the end of summer and lose motivation, then by Feb I have to start over! This time I joined the forum, started a journal and am really so much more committed. It makes all the difference!

Good luck to you!

I used to follow Protein Power, and I did very well on it. I am going to follow that plan again allowing myself no more than 30 grams of carbs per day. (I don't count fiber grams.)

And thanks for the welcome!

Anytime.. glad you are here with us... now let's get skinny together...

Hi, FtballMom! I also made it to 140, give or take a couple of pounds of fluctuation. I would like to lose 20 more than that. I am only 5'1", but I lean toward a large-type frame.

You sound a lot like me! I did terrible during the winter. Here it is summer, and I am the only one walking around in 80 degree weather with a jacket-type blue-jean shirt on every day. I'm so ashamed of my 'rolls' that I would rather burn up than let them hang loose for everyone to see!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I think I'm going to like it here!

Welcome to the forum. I think you will find a lot of hepful support

Thanks so much, Annabel!

Welcome! I have found that I really have to look at it as a permanent lifestyle, not a diet. It helps to plan plan plan everything. I'm glad you are here!

Thanks! Glad to meet you, DarbyAz!
