Hi there,
I opened an account on this website two years ago, and see that I've gained 6 pounds since then. :mad: Maybe if I make myself post, I'll be more motivated to follow a low carb plan consistently. I've read and tried most of the big ones, but am just now reading the Carbohydrate Addicts' Diet for the first time and will give it a try starting tomorrow. I would like to lose around 20 pounds. I'm not overweight by health standards, but I can barely squeeze into my clothes anymore and refuse to buy new ones, which means I've been wearing the same pair of sweat pants all summer long (and boy could they use a washing! ;) ).
The most difficult thing for me, I suspect, will be giving up Starbucks. I know, it's pathetic, but I look forward to my daily mocha like you wouldn't believe. I think I have been drinking chocolate milk in one form or another since very early childhood, and it has a lot of psychological connotations for me. I clearly remember my very first cafe mocha, freshman year of college, and what a rush I got off it. I've been hooked on them ever since. Since Starbucks is raising their prices Oct. 6, this is as good a time as any to break the habit. (I was going to insert a smiley indicating fear here, but there doesn't appear to be one...)
