Hi everyone! I've started my 3 year cycle once again and need support and fellowship with others who can relate.

Best of luck to you!

Hi Melissa! You'll find lots of support here! Many of us are familiar with the cycle of dieting. I've made a major change this time around, so I'm hoping to make it all the way to goal and stay there for good! I used to calorie count and allow myself no leeway. This time I'm doing a modified version of the Slow Carb Diet and I have a cheat day every week. I have a whole new perspective on food now! I hope whichever weight loss/fitness plan you use, it works for you! Good luck!

Hi Jacqui!

What is the slow carb diet?

It's a type of low carb diet that was first introduced in the book The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. I don't follow the diet exactly as he prescribes it. Mine is definitely a modified version. Here's a link to a thread I started about it when I first started on it: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/othe...carb-diet.html.

Welcome..Good luck with your efforts! YOU can do it!!
