New to Low Carbing

[kittygirl0]

Hi all,

I am Andrea, 27, I am married and have an 18 month old daughter, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I am in dire need to lose weight to get myself back to a healthy fit person, and I am not going to lie....for vanity reasons too.

I started my Atkins Low Carb diet on July 19th, 2004 at 280 lbs and as of my one week weigh in on the 26th I am down to 271 lbs :hyper: My goal weight is 150 lbs but that is going to be a long journey and one I am willing to take to get healthy.

I hope I can learn a lot from you all since I am so new at this. Can't wait to get to know you all.

Andrea
