First Time Low Carb! Support would be much appreciated!

ravevampyre · 01-14-2008, 02:28 PM

HI :]

This is my first time trying low carb ( I was always afraid to try it from all the reports of it being unhealthy). I am 5 feet tall and weigh 157 at the moment, I am down 8 pounds since December 26th.

I am currently following a Phase 1 of south beach diet type of thing, I am considering following this until I reach around 145 or so, then start adding low sugar fruits and such back in slowly..

I would really enjoy having pen pals to help keep me motivated, and so I can help keep others motivated! :]
Thanks for your time.

I also am determined to lose this weigh!!! I started 1-1-08 at 240.8 and today am under the 230 mark!! 229.6#

The thing that has been my salvation is the small close group of buddies that have joined me. I submitted an initial post called "51 with 100 lbs to lose." I had several WONDERFUL people respond and we have become the "Carbo-Raiders." Everyone posts daily and we do an online chat together on Sunday night at 10:00 (IN time). This week's challenge is to: 1) drink one gallon of water daily and 2) walk 30 minutes each day!!

We'd love to have you in our group.... Just go thru our thread and you'll see we are a good support group for each other....
