I am 35 and need someone to share my LC journey

cookie34 · 07-17-2009, 09:03 PM

My name is Kandi. I live in southern California. I don't really know many people out here because I am originally from Kansas. I am the mother of 2 girls and step mom to one girl. I just got married in February. My husband is really sweet. He tries to say he low carbs but he doesn't.

It would be nice to have a buddy or buddies to cheer each other on.. Some little friendly competition maybe.. or just to share what life sends our way. If anyone is interested, just write me.

How ya doing? I am new here. I had another weight loss forum I was going to, but they didn't support the low carb thing very much....I am 36, been married for 18 years, and have 2 kids. A boy 15 and a girl 13. My highest weight was 192 about maybe 5 years ago or so. I got down to around 140 for awhile but went back up to 159 and am currently at 151ish. My husband "talks" about getting in shape all the time, but won't do anything about it. Guess we might have that in common!

I'd be happy to be your pen pal here. I am leaving for Orlando on the 22nd and will be gone for only 5 days....so when I get back I am hoping to officially start a low carb diet. I've actually been consuming less carbs lately. I lost quite a few pounds and I have less digestive problems...so I have high hopes!

How'd you go from Kansan to California? I just went from Virginia to Mississippi. Big mistake! I'll tell you about that one later!

Hope to hear from you so we can we can encourage each other.

Hi Dani,

Are you going to Orlando for work or vacation? Have fun while you are down there whatever it is for! I have 2 girls, age 17 and 12. I grew up in Kansas and married a man in the Army. We eventually came to California and when we got divorced, I stayed.

Now I am remarried to a wonderful man.. so there was a reason I didn't go back to where I grew up! Wierd how things turn out. I just got remarried in February but we have been together 3 years total. I inherited a step daughter who is 10 also. I do miss my family though. It seems like it was easier meeting friends out in the Mid West. I just think I have met the wrong ones here. They can be nice enough, but I am not interested in going to the bar all the time. Whatever happened to getting together and playing cards, or bbqing w/ friends. I don't understand why all these people I meet out here have to get thier drink on to have fun. I am not against drinking, I just don't want that to be the only thing I have in common with my friends. Anyways, since low carbing, I don't even really drink anymore. Anyways, when you get back and start on your journey we can route each other on!

We are going for fun this time. We are going to the parks and to see Blue Man Group. We went last year and had a blast! My husband is a BMG fan. He's seen like 6 shows so far. We do want to move down there sometime. We are thinking in Feb or March after tax time. So you have 3 girls? Wow. One is enough for me! I'll take boys any day. I know what you mean about the friends thing. We haven't really made any here in MS. Everyone down here is so different than up north. Everyone smokes and/or chews and they drink a lot. Plus most of the white people are racist. They say terrible things. I'm not used to it. We don't drink at all. I just can't wait to get out of here. I feel trapped! Talk to you later!

cookie34 · 07-20-2009, 09:03 AM

I would love to go see the East Coast someday. I think it would be so pretty. Especially the New England area during fall..

DaniMae1 · 07-28-2009, 05:54 AM

Hello again Kandi! Had a great time in Florida! Ate tons of garbage, rode some rides, saw Blue Man Group. Fun! Do you have a journal on here? I guess it is time for me to start doing mine! Ugh....I hate doing that. Tried it on another website. But they didn't really support a low carb diet. How's the past week been for you? Talk to you later!

cookie34 · 07-28-2009, 09:08 AM

This past week has been good for me.. I have started losing weight again.. I am glad you had fun in Florida! I do have a journal, look at the bottom of my post for a link.. I will write more later.. I am at work and kinda busy..

DaniMae1 · 07-28-2009, 04:30 PM
