Hi, all. My name is Nita and I'm on the Oregon coast. And I'm old...lol...so will be looking for the over 60 crowd (I just read some before I joined). I'm 69, a gramma and great gramma.

And I never give up. The only way you fail is to quit trying. So I started trying to eat right...again. I'm going low carb, because that seems to work best for me. Especially to get rid of the carb cravings. I'm a carb junkie.

So, that's me. I know I'll be inspired to hang on by reading here daily.

Thanks for having me. Nita

Welcome aboard from another Oregonian, Willamette Valley. I like old ladies, since I am on the way there myself.

I guess us Oregonians are every where. :) Glad to meet you.

I'm on my third day of induction. I bought ketostix today, but will have to wait till payday to get the latest book. I'm assuming induction rules haven't changed.

Thank you for the welcomes. Nita

Hi, Nita. Welcome!

Induction rules are the same. Here is a thread with some basics if you need a refresher before you can get the book.

Welcome Nina - I'm also on the westcoast, but up in BC, and also old - 58 - and it's good to have you here.

Good luck with the Atkins plan - that's the same one I'm doing. Gets rid of those cravings pretty quick , and no more mood swings for me - also a bonus. :cool:
