Something happened on my way to a lower number on my scale, I became healthier.
Has it been a year already? I started my lo-carb life on September 19th 2007.

I was reading a discussion on the very meaning of lo-carb, the basic theory. I started out a year ago kicking and screaming all of the way...now it's a natural choice. I am very happy to be able to say that. However, with that being said, I also know that I will venture off of the path of good health on the occasion.
