Red face A newbie checking in...

Hi everyone ... I have been looking for a fun and supportive forum to join. After reading some of your messages I'm sure I have found a terrific group. I am a 46 year retired nurse and have no children. I do have a wonderful and slim hubby. Just to give you a wee bit of background info.. I am 204 lbs and 5'6", I am definitely carrying too much weight. It was my onocologist that suggested going on a low carb program to ease chemo side effects. I have been dealing with 2 cancers and that fight is going well. But the Battle of the Bulge obviously is still ongoing. I have read the Atkins and Protein power books. They certainly both have some great information. I'm trying to do the induction level of carbs. So far I am really amazed at how much better I have felt. I have found some wonderful information already in your posts. I am new to the internet and this type of forum so please be kind if I make a dumb-dumb typing or lingo mistake. There seems to be a whole new chat lingo that I'm just starting to understand.. I hope to be able to share with you and offer my own support...Be well today...

Lovely name and it's nice to see another Canadian.

Welcome to this forum. You will find all kinds of ideas, support and friendship here. As you can see by checking our posts, we usually post specific questions on their own but chat away on the Daily Thread. Please feel free to join us there where we can get to know you better.

As to being new to the Internet, I was a virgin once too! Ask any and all questions. Somewhere I have a list of Net abbreviations that I may be able to find. There is lots of information in the Frequently Asked Questions forum and check out the Recipes.

Once again - welcome to the Low Carb Coop!
