Hello From NYC

Hello All,

My name is Stacy and I just started low-carb on 6/13/08. I have lost 8.5lbs so far and it is day 4. I am very motivated but know that I will need help down the line. My partner of 7 years started low carb 3 years ago and has lost 165lbs. Even though I saw the weight fall off her I wasn't ready. Now she is a size 6 and I am a man's 52 and weigh 298.5lbs. This woke me up! When I saw the scale last week at 308.5 I almost died. How did this happen to me? I watch these programs on T.V. and think "that will never be me." I've realized I was just kidding myself and I need to save my life. I am only 33 but I feel like I am 60! I need all your help because I know this isn't going to be easy but it has to be done.

Thanks in advance for helping me through this lifestyle change! :wave:
