Hi all, Newbie here...

Hi Everyone,
I just stumbled across this forum by accident, and what a happy accident it was. I just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself...I'm Charlotte, an English teacher from Tennessee, 38 (but only chronologically...lol!), and a soldier in the weight-loss battle since I was about 3 or so...ugh. Highest weight was almost 600 lbs at age 15, now about 270, and have just decided to go back to the low carb route to get to 160 or so...haven't weighed that much since about the 4th grade, unfortunately .

I thought I would also ask...there are SO MANY low carb plans now...anyone have suggestions as to which is best? Any insight/info would be appreciated.

thanks,
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte and welcome to 3FC. This is a wonderful site for support and ideas!

I'd have replied sooner but we moved to a new server over the weekend and were "closed for renovations" so to speak!

If you go to the main page of this site and click on Diet Guides, you will find a list of low carb diets with an outline of each. www.3fatchicks.com

Please hang out with us and post on the Chatter thread where we kind of gab and gripe and sometimes even talk diet!

Charlotte-welcome. I'm an Atkins person---but it's not for everyone. Some people don't like how strict it is. I've heard that South Beach is a good plan also. Good luck and let us know how things go!
