Looking for a Low Carb Friend

Lauralynn26 · 01-27-2005, 11:00 AM

Hi am new to site and I'm just looking for someone to start up a Low carb friendship with. I am looking for someone who is around the same point of low-carbing that I am. I did Atkins last year and lost around 50lbs, but then I enjoyed the holidays to much and gained back around 15lbs (which isn’t to bad).

I am 5’10 and would like to lose around 40lbs. I am just looking for someone who needs to lose around the same amount of weight and can offer inspiration and encouragement.

I love to work out and have gotten back in to taking step classes 3-4 times a week. This is a great site and definitely full of great information but I am also looking for someone who I can email or send Private messages to more on a daily bases. To talk about our struggles and our accomplishments while living a low carb lifestyle.

If you would like to start a low carb friendship please send me an email (justmela2001@yahoo.com) or send me a message on this site.

Thanks and good luck to everybody on this site.

Hey Laura

I too, lost 46 lbs between 12/04 and 8/2004, I still needed to lose 45 lbs but I wanted to see if I could maintain where I was and I did for the most part.

You know when I gained 7 lbs- when I tried back 1/3/05 a low-fat diet- I immeadiately went back to low-carb and I have since lost that 7 lbs.

Atkins and Low Carbing are my favorite topics of conversation.

Hi Kathy,

My name is Laura and I started the Thread I also need someone to talk to about weight loss. The other person on the message is Kay she is also around the same weight as you and I and is trying to lose around 30lbs, by April.

It's great to have someone to chat with about all the ups and downs of this woe. So you lost 40lbs last year that is great. Were you able to keep the weight off? Are you on any type of exercise plans?

This site has been really useful for ideas with recipes also especially if you like the sweets like me

So have you set any goals for yourself? Try to lose this much weight/inches by this month?

hey Laura
unfortunately,I gained back all of the weight exept about 10 pounds!! I did'nt exercise but I have a small house cleaning business and it was booming that time of year, so,I guess that was the only exercise I got!! I still have the cleanig business but most of my houses are easy

sooooooo, I'm gonna have to do something else too I guess.

I abhor working out. we have a weight room here at my apartments with a really nice treadmill, but I want to lose a little, (old injury to knee) so it's not too much of a stain on my knee. looking forward to hearing from ya'll!!! Kat

Hi Ladies,

Ok, apparently I lost my mind this weekend! I don’t know if it was just because it was super Bowl Weekend or just weakness, but I ate a not so low-carb weekend.

I did work out this Saturday at my step class and went for a nice long walk on Sunday but Pringles were my weakness, I went WAY over my 30 Carb count a day.

So here it is Monday and I am ready to start again strong and move on from my little slip from the Low Carb way of life

So how did everyone else do this weekend?
