Hi, my name is Diana. I am 45 yrs. old and married. I semi started learning and doing low-carb this last week. But I've decided I might need to get myself a little more educated on the whole thing before I really just make the total change in my lifestyle. Plus the holidays weren't the best time to start. I have decided to start on Jan. 1. It will also be easier to track my results on a monthly basis. Plus DH and I are getting a membership at the local Y so I can incorporate strenth training as well.

I want to thank you for all your informative posts. I think with the knowledge I've received through reading the original Atkins book, DANDR, and from you wonderful folks here I will be able to make this a lifestyle change.

Every year I plan to lose weight for summer, but this year I'm dead serious "I'm going to lose this extra weight and keep it off!"
