I'm ready to get started on my new lifesyle. I glad I found this web site to help me through the tuff times. I'm not new to the low carb eating plans. I just can't seem to be able to stay with them.
I like to lift weights. I powerlifted for about 2 years and did pretty good. Won some events and all I have to show for it is a bad back.. I think if I shed some weight my back will get better. I about 265 now and would like to get down to 225. I think I would feel really good at that wieght.
I hope to hear from all of you. Thank you
