Hi everyone! I've been reading posts for several months now and finally got up the nerve to join.

I've been LCing since 1999. At that time my blood glucose was borderline diabetic and my blood pressure was way too high. I focused exclusively on my diet and exercise and managed to lose almost 60 pounds over 9 months, which normalized the glucose and reduced the BP.

Then... well, let's say I was less focused. Life, you know...

The wakeup call came a few months ago when I finally got a high-capacity scale and found out what I weighed. I'd regained all of what I'd lost and a bit to spare. So, time to be focused again!!

I've lost 20 pounds over the last 3 months but I think I need some accountability as I've levelled off and the exercise has been slipping of late.

So today I'm back from the gym and I've stocked the house with good LC food to get me back on track.

Anyway, enough rambling for now. I'm looking forward to being part of the gang here!!

Welcome. You did it before and you can do it again. Besides, being male, you will lose better than most of the women here. It's the health benefits that are so great. As Dr. Atkins discovered when he put his heart patients on low carb diets and found that they also lost weight.
