Hey Charran, Judy, and Brandy!

Thanks for the welcome... and the warnings on transition. I actually found this board by doing a search for transitioning. I landed on the "How did YOU transition to PII" thread. I saw your tips there, Judy, and took notes!

I'm optimistic that this will work and will become a permanent change rather than a diet. Perimenopause has nabbed me, so I know that I have to find a long term solution rather than a quick fix.
