Hi there, I have finally joined you all!

I have read and lurked for over a year, and I have finally joined!

I am almost 50 (in October) 5'7", I run my own business from home, I am the mum of 3, 2 grown and flown and one still at school. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I started seriously low-carbing in January 2011. I do my own version, rather than follow any one plan. I have read lots of books, including Atkins, Good calories, Bad Calories, Trick and Treat, Life without Bread, and lots and lots of posts here, and on other forums. I am also a member of 3 fat chicks, with the same username.

I have lost about 40 pounds so far, and have recently taken up running...which 6 weeks in I have discovered I love!

I recently decided to write my story down, so I have started a blog! :lol: This feels very funny to me, writing about my weight loss and why this time it has been different...but I have been so inspired by others stories, I thought I would write mine down. I have only just started this process, so if you do pop into see me, please check back later for the next bit. And please say hello while you are there! :wave:
