Buddy Love!

Hi Everyone!
I'm doing this thread hoping that others will join in and help encourage one another here.
LaRae, feel free to respond whenever you can!

My name is Diana, I'm 45 and have been on Atkins since the end of April, this year. I've lost about 30 lbs, I'm hoping to lose more

and look half way decent for the Holidays.
I've been happily married for 16 years, no children yet, I do have a little dog name Sammee, he's a Papillon and what a cutie he is.
My interests are baking, karaoking, camping, having my niece's and nephew's over my house and spoiling them rotten. I want to learn how to knit, my MIL does and makes beautiful scarfs and wraps. That is next on my to do list.
Like you LaRae, which I forgot to mention, (how could I forget!) I love to read my Bible, and I am trying to learn Hebrew, when I get the chance to.
I love being in the outdoors! My husband and I one day would love to live in the country. We talk about moving back where he is from which is Freeport, Ill. I would like to live in the midwest, and I know the. . . snow! But my DH is used to it so that's all that matters, LOL.

So come join us and share with us your thoughts and likes and anything you want. We're here to be a buddy to anyone who needs one and just be there for each other!

Hope to see you all soon!
Diana

Determinedtolose · 07-26-2007, 08:34 AM

JersyGyrl!!!!!!!!!!!
What are doing! OMG, I'm so happy to hear from you!
I came here because there are so many people doing low carb and I really like it here.
I wanted to PM you a couple of times and look you here.
Let's keep in touch. I go on the Low Carb pen pals, you should find me.
By the way, how did you find me? LOL
Thank you for your message!

JerseyGyrl · 07-28-2007, 07:15 AM

Hey Diana!!

I belong to several low carb websites...and found out a lot of people do too!!!
When I saw your post, checked your stats, saw you were from AZ...I knew it must've been you and if it wasn't...I was gonna feel dumb!!!

Glad you found this place...I think you'll like it here. Lots of friendly folks here.

So...how's it going girl? Tell me what you been up to

Hugs

Hi JG,
LOL, yeah the AZ thing gave it away huh!
You know when I stopped posting on 3FC, to be honest, I was just kind of tired of it. I was on there reading and trying to respond all the time, I mostly on line reading alot and it just kind of consumed.
So I was looking for some low carb products and found LCF website, I had looked at it before but didn't know it had a support system.
This time when I was looking for products, I saw the support and decided to check it out. I really do like it, it's different because everybody is on a low carb diet, so we can all relate.

Anyway, I'm still doing low carb. It's funny because I've only done it since April, and the thought of eating the way I used to doesn't even appeal to me.
I'm losing slowy but surely. I went from a size 24 to a size 20, so I'm pretty happy about that.
I wanted to ask you, do you buy low carb products and if so what kind.
Have you made anything with portebella mushrooms before. I bought some and am looking for a recipe.
So I'm on my way to Kohls to buy some pants, I have to keep pulling the one's I wear up. I look like a I got a load in pants anymore! LOL

I'm so glad you wrote, please feel free to do so again. If you can feel me in on how you just went through the low carb without deviating I could sure use the tips!
Thanks JG!

Call me slow!

I like the title, Buddy Love! That's great. I love the idea of anyone posting for a dose of "pen pal". We love this WOE and are so excited to be on it. I have not felt deprived or missed anything! That is just unbelievable to me to not have cravings and to be able to control my appetite. That is what makes low-carb so great. It has a built-in appetite control when done properly. Be sure to eat enough to feel satiated and satisfied. Don't try to go low calorie or low fat; that defeats this WOE, in my opinion. Eat and enjoy!
Feel free to join us and ask anything. We're here to help!

Determinedtolose · 08-16-2007, 07:35 PM

Hey, don't I know you! Remember me from another Thread, LOL!
we can go back and forth, but it doesn't matter. I like the one were on.
I guess the title didn't agree with anyone.
Oh well!
Love Ya,
Diana

LaRae · 08-16-2007, 07:53 PM

Well, maybe it will "catch on" eventually. If someone does post, we will be here for them!

Determinedtolose · 08-16-2007, 08:06 PM

Yeah, that's true!
I like that!
