Hello

[JellyBuns]

I was recently referred to this site by a co-worker that's lost a lot of weight by low carbing. I've been reading this site non-stop for the past few days and finally decided to post.
I'm sure there are tons of people that sign up every year because of their resolutions to lose weight. I'm determined to make my resolution for 2012 be a reality. I'm tired of living this way.
I've never tried a low carb diet before. I've already bought a journal to keep track of my food and I've started planning my meals for the induction phase which I'm beginning tomorrow morning.
While out shopping for supplies this morning before work I noticed a lot of stuff I thought was low carb really isn't.
It looks like I have a lot of learning to do.

Welcome to the board, Jellybuns! :wave:

You are right, this way of eating does mean a lot of label reading when out shopping! I even take a small creditcard-sized magnifying lens in my pocket so I can read the small print more easily. ;)
