Welcome and a big HELLO back. Are you following a particular plan? Please feel free to jump in anywhere and join us on the Low Carb Weekly Chat.

no special plan just low carb and fat , because I found the atkins a bit too hard to stick with , my daughter will be getting married in 5 months so I'm hoping to loose some and maybe help my blood pressure , at 51 I figured if not know when ...

I am on South Beach which does allow some carbs. Be sure not to go too low on fat. We need 20-30 grams per day to be able to absorb nutrients in our food. I'm 65 and have my BP and blood sugar in normal range now - good fats and good carbs.
