Newbie - Hello everyone

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Victor, and live in Stockton, CA. I will be 40 years old on the 23 of this month. I will start the low carb. diet tomorrow. My current weight is 191 #'s, and hope to lose 30-35 #'s. For the longest time I’ve wanted to lose this extra pounds, and give my back, and my knees a break. As I was reading CAD by Drs. Richard and Rachael Heller I felt that every page of that book was about me. I feel that this diet will be just right for me. Anyway, I look forward to tucking my shirt.

Victor,

Welcome! As you've probably already surmised, this is a great place for support, encouragement and advice.

Best of luck to you-- I think you'll be tucking in that shirt before you know it.

Thank you Slmdezi. This is my 3rd day on the LC diet, and I can believe the results. Just a week ago regardless of exercise I was not losing the pounds. On my 3rd day on LC diet, and I have gone from 191 to 186 lbs. I can't even believe it. I am not going hungry, and I am feeling good. Some pants I had purchased 2 weeks ago, fit a bit lose.
