I thought it might be interesting to share our stories about find LC WOE. Here's my story:
I worked for a large metropolitan library for 32-1/2 years. I retired this past Thanksgiving. The last few years I had been putting on some weight, compounded with nearing menopause and a boring, sedentery job, that I knew was nearing its end.
I had always planned to lose weight after I retired. You know, one of those resolutions thaat never really get off the ground.
In Feb 2003, my husband was surfing during a commercial and found Phil Donahue talking to Dr. Atkins. Well, we didn't switch off the channel. I listened with great interest to what he had to say.
It sounded like something I could handle. Previous diets were boring, and you starved. And, they didn't work.
I bought his book, DANDR, and began a new WOE. It is wonderful. So far, I've lost 22 lbs. (I'm now in a bit of a stall, oh well.) I feel much better, look LOTS better, and I sure don't look or feel 50!
In fact, I cut off and hemmed all my old jeans (that are now loose) ala Daisy Duke.
