Welcome Joodsie! I know exactly what you mean when you say that this is your last attempt to save your life. That applies to me big time! I started this low carb WOL most of all because I couldn't stand feeling so horrible all the time. I was slowly killing myself with my lifestyle. For most of my life I've been very overweight, exhausted, had major aches and pains in the back and knees, IBS, heart palpitations, and my cholestorol and blood pressure were steadily climbing. I knew that if I didn't do something NOW, it might be too late, sooner than I wanted to believe. So I've been lowcarbing for two weeks now and I feel great! My energy is much improved, no more IBS, no more fatigue and the weight is coming off! I know already that this is good for me, I can feel it.
Congrats on taking charge of your health, and best of luck to you! Stick with it, take it a day at a time and you will do so great! And of course, hang around here in this forum as much as you can, the people here are so knowledgable and supportive. They've been my cheerleaders from the start, and their input is invaluable to me!
