Introduction

My name is Robyn and this is my first week on the CAD. I'll be turning 40 in June and I'm just so determined to lose some weight. I can't get into any of my clothes and I'm shocked at how the weight can creep up on you. I've been exercising like crazy, but the weight is not coming off -- at least not like it used to when I was younger. I decided to try this diet after feeling so frustrated with not being able to lose any weight even though I exercise and watch what I eat. I have noticed I get really tired after a meal and sometimes I feel very hungry shortly after I've eaten. I look forward to receiving some support from this forum. I'm especially in need of advise on breakfast ideas since I'm not crazy about eggs. Thanks and best wishes.

Hi, Robyn! :wave: Welcome!

There's a whole forum for CAD/CALPers and you may get some good advice there. You could also check out the recipe section (look at the orange bar at the top of the page; check out the Low Carb Tips link, too, while you're at it!) A lot of people here have found that the Mock Danish helps with breakfast. If you go to the recipes section of the forum, you'll find a lot of ideas there, too.

Good luck! I hope you'll post often so we'll see how you're doing :)

Thanks, alto! :wave:, I will check out the areas you mentioned. You're in Washington D.C. (oh how I miss it). I moved a year ago to North Carolina from Bowie, Maryland and I used to work in D.C. for many years. I miss those crab cakes too! Thanks for your response and take care.
