Hello folks.

My name is Ladybuggzy. I have followed a low-carb plan in the past, but I recently RETURNED to the low-carb lifestyle in December of 2003. My highest weight was 274. I currently weigh 237. My goal weight is 144.

My doctor placed me on a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet. He told me that this is the way I am to live for the rest of my life.

I have read the latest Atkins "new diet revolution" book. My doctor has modified this plan to better suit my personal dietary needs, but the plan I am following is similar to Atkins. (I am allowed to have more veggies and fruits than what is allowed in the Atkins plan.)

I currently exercise five times a week doing some form of cardio exercise.
Three times a week I lift weights for strength-training purposes.

I am 28. Married. No children (yet). I am from the USA.

I guess that's all about me!
Ladybuggzy

Oops- I guess I should have come here first? I'm totally a "newbie" at your site - wasn't even sure what a "thread" was but am learning... I'm a mom of 3 young boys and carried all this extra weight for about a decade. Am getting closer to my goal but find I'm getting discouraged at times so it's nice to know/read your words of encouragement & advice.
Thanks for being here!
