I can sure relate to so much that I've read in the forums and I look forward to learning so much more!
Now, about me...I am single and live in beautiful western North Carolina at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have two canine kids that keep me on my toes when I'm home and I teach 20 third graders when school's in session. I have two teen daughters of my own, the stories of which belong in a totally different forum!

I currently have about 57 lbs I would like to lose, more if the doctors have their way. I've tried all sorts of diets and know I am a carb junkie, moreso of the salty type than the sweet type. Any help/suggestions/constructive criticism you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and I look forward to interacting more with people on this site!

which turned out not to be as bad as I thought. I worked it off. I like you prefer salty over sweet any day. I've learned to set mini goals instead of always looking at the number on the end which is so far away. My ultimate goal right now is 150. I've lost 3.4 lbs since 6/1 which is when I started my new journey. Search the forums and find the threads that fit you and jump in. The support and motivation are great. Again welcome
