Hello Everyone! I found this website and I love the type of support you can get from the people in this type of community. I just recently got back on track with Low Carb again and like everyone I could use all the help and support I can get. I have alot of advice but I don't always follow it. I'm my own critic and worst enemy when it comes to food. I've never had an issue with my weight until the past 5-6 years and really just want it back under control now. I hope to get to know you all and I'm a great listener and I love to chat.

Hey LC,
You sound alot like me. I can give great advice and frankly, deep down, feel like I'm talking right out of my a** since I don't do it myself. I've become a pro at disclaimers like "I know I should follow my own advice but..." or "It doesn't look like I'd know much about diet and excercise but...", and it's time to put the knowledge to use. I think sometimes honesty is as important as support...like maybe someone pointing out when one should take their own advice....am I making sense?
anyway, the way we differ is that weight loss and management has been part of my life since I was 8 (so 28 years). THis time I'm trying something different by tackling the weight 5 lbs at a time
Maybe we can support and call each other on things we need to be called out on.
look forward to chatting with you
Tracy

You have a deal Tracy. We'll continue to check in and be that honest support system that we need. I've just gotten back into Low Carb and I plan on never leaving it. I now know that I have to live this way or I will blow up like a balloon. I'm going to hit one week of being totally good tomorrow. I've turned down alot of really yummy food to say that. It has been very hard. BUT when that scale is down again tomorrow it will be worth it.
