I've tried the low carb diet and know it works. I needed some motivation to get going again and then my husband said he wanted to try it too..... great, I'll start tomorrow, I thought and headed out to the store to get some "staples" eagerly anticipating tomorrow to come..... except when my husband came home from work he brought chips, cheeze spread and beer!!!! UGH!!! I'm not going to get much help from him, so I thought I better find some support elsewhere. I need to lose 40 pounds and I am an ice cream addict, so it's going to be tough!! HELP!!!
