Hi Sandee! Welcome from the Gold Coast. Lot of SEQLders visit this message board.

Congratulations on choosing to go LC, it is a great program, one that is so easy and so successful!

First few days can be rough as you go through with drawl of all your sugar, caffine and carb addictions, but hang in there. After you come out the other side of them, you won't believe how great you will feel,

Best of luck, and you can do it!

Keep us informed on how you go.

Luv

Hi Rey.........thanks for the welcome, are you on Atkins too ? are you finding it easy ? This is my first day on it and it's 8.30pm but I'm ready for bed and have a huge headache but from what I've read of other peoples post this is pretty much the norm......
Sandee...

Hi Sandee, I usually just lurk around, but today I had to tell you that yes it does work.

Good Luck with you weight loss

Regards Bambi

Hi Sandee, welcome!

Yes, it works! Sometimes slowly, but the fat is is definitely going.
Sandee, how about starting a journal. It's a really good way of keeping track of what you are doing.
Info on how to here
Also, Sandee, don't just confine yourself to the Oz section. Have a good sticky beak all around the site - there's an amazing amount of info here.
Happy low carbing!

Hi

I can say "Yes, Atkins definitely works"
I've lost 42 kg since last July.

There are quite a few kiwis and aussies here, stick around and you'll get to meet a few.

Hi Tara- I just spent some time on your site. Its great to have Kiwi/Aussie low carb sites. You have done so well congratulations! Your photos are very inspiring.

I live not far from you - Dunedin. Is it snowing down there yet?

Hi Sandy.....

Not only does it work..but it's helping other medical problems I have that pertain to insulin levels and sugar levels.
I had those nasty headaches too...grab some tylonal and keep with it. I ate porkrinds sprinkled with melted butter, splenda and cinnimon and sometmes I use pumpkin spice too. Treat yourself to all those legal foods. I found that hard cheese took those sweet cravings away too.

Hugs...Cin

Hi Liz

Yeah we are pretty close. No snow yet though, although this morning is cold enough to think that snow is close!
