Welcome to the forum. You chose the right place for encouragement and support.

One thing - it's pretty hard to come up with your own diet. I would suggest that you get Jonny Bowden's book, Living the Low Carb Life, or Laura Richard's book, The Secret to Low Carb Success, and see the explanations about the different diets. Then, go BUY the book for the plan you choose. Read it, follow it, love it. That's the best way to make this work.

There are lots of people here who care and will help you get on track.

Best of luck!

Hello and welcome! :wave:

Nice to meet you! Good Luck to you! I agree with the last poster's suggestion. You should have a definite plan to follow. You can also open a journal and we can come visit you there to see how you are doing.

well thanks you all...i need all the support i can get...but a quick question how do i do a journal it was hard enough trying to figure out how to post something and also i dont know how to get back to what i posted so the way i do it is i go to the bottom where is has all the users and my name and i click on my name..is that the right way???And also if some one can tell me how i can get a photo of myself up here i would really like that...by the way so far you all seem really wonderful on here...thank you!!!!

[LCanita]

Go to the top of any page on the left and click on "User CP." There you will find a list of everywhere you have posted.

Also, look to the top on the right of any page. Next to Welcome you will see "Journal" click there to go to YOUR journal.

Let us know if this gets you started! :D :D
