hello :)

Hi, my name is Cortney, and I'll be starting my low carb lifestyle tomorrow! This is not the first time I've done this...about 3 years ago I low carbed for about 8 months straight and lost about 40 lbs. Unfortunately I moved to Japan with my husband and the food here (ramen...curry...) is ridiculously amazing, and not only did I put on the weight I lost...but an extra 20 lbs.

I've had a host of health issues that cleared up almost completely when I was low-carbing before but have resurfaced with a vengeance. I'm hoping that they'll clear up once again...and take my extra weight with them!

I will be doing lots of cardio and resistance training as well :)

Welcome Courtney!

Tons of great advise and support on this site with lots of very nice people too.
:agree:
I also, lost all my weight in 2010, and have in the last year put it all back on plus some! All my old health problems have resurfaced as well. :(

I am starting out fresh in 2013, we can do this! :)

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

Rox- Do you think it's really carb related or just coincidence? I'm really curious to see if it really is carb related! I can't wait for the next few weeks to tell. If carbs are what's causing my pain and other issues, then I will be taking that directly to my doctors and see if that can narrow anything down for them.
