new here

Hi All;
This is a first for me, not used to forums. I think it is great to be able to get incouragement and ideas from everyone.

To introduce myself-I am 64 yrs. old and have been dieting most of my life on and off. I started Atkins a couple of years ago, took of some weight, went off for the holidays and put it back and some. When It was 300 lbs.again after a cruise I said enough, so the middle of Jan this year I started Atkins again and have been doing quite well.

I have high blood pressere and thyriod nodules, both of which I take meds for. Both under control at this time.

My favorite thing to do is cook and bake, but now when I bake I give it away. I am trying to learn to cook LC, always looking for ideas and recipes.

Thanks for listening...I hope to be a regular here.

Pat,

I hope you to be a regular here as well. Welcome to the forum!

so the middle of Jan this year I started Atkins again and have been doing quite well.

I would say you have done very well! I am so glad to see that and I am happy for you!

As far as baking, I have avoided it unless if it is low carb. I was known as the cookie girl in my family. Every Christmas I would bake 20 plus different kinds of cookies and send them to relatives and bring them to parties and get togethers. Now, I only make low carb treats. There are tons of recipes in this forum and up above on the orange bar. I make a great low carb cheesecake that even my sister's fiance likes.

Glad to see you here! :)
