Looking for a support buddy

I am looking for a low carb buddy, to help encourage me. I have about 90lbs to lose. I just started low carb eating today.

Hi Kimmi73,

I had planned on writing you sooner, but had to leave.
Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.
We're here to help, encourage and to support you,

Have you thougth of what type of way of eating you'd like to try? There are so many low carb options here. You should look are around, see what sounds good and come back and chat more.

As for me, I'm doing Atkins, it seems to be working for me pretty well. I have a lot of energy and I'm eating very well too!
So think about what you want to do and all of us here can help you out!!

Hi Diana, Thanks its nice to know there's people out there that support me. I started back on Atkins. I tried it about a year ago lost about 30 pounds got discouraged when I was following it strictly and quit losing. So, I gave up! But, it's really the only plan that has worked for me (where I'm not starving) I just have to keep with it even if I hit a plateau. How long have you been on Atkins? Thanks again for the support

Hi Kimmi,
I'm on Atkis now and I've lost 30 lbs too. I really like it and, and there is so much you can do food wise to were it's not boring. Just check out Linda's Low Carb Menu's and Recipe website and you'll find a lot of different things you can make, even while on induction. You cannot get bored on this diet!
The plateau's are normal and common, just cut out the food that could be causing that, or it could be your body just getting used to the weight loss. Because with me when I lost at a certain point, my body stops losing too. From what Atkins say's our body gets used to certain weight when we lose, and it stops at that point where it's been before. So when it gets past that point, it may take a couple of weeks, it will start losing again. Does that make sense? That is what happend to me and then I starting losing weight again.

You can do it Kimmi, just start it and if you need support just give us a hollar!
Don't give up this time, you came here for a reason, and now is the time for you to lose and feel good about yourself.
But first make sure that you have a positive attitude as well, that makes all the difference. When we speak life into what we do, then things will change and good things will start happening.
God Bless,
Diana
