Hi my name is Jan. I have done LC diets on and off but never been able to stick with it for very long, love those carbs! I know LC diets work and am desperate to fit back into my clothes again and feel better about myself.

I am sure having a buddy would help. I am 5.9 and 173 pounds. I would like to get down to about 145. I am on my first day....again )

Thanks,
Jan

Hard to keep LC-ing walking those Jersey board walks in
Seaside and Pt. Pleasant
I started really LC-ing the end of July also. I spent the beginning of that month weaning myself from my favorite carbs and the transfusion of sugars I always started my day with
Oh how I wish I were 5'9...i'm only 5'4 so I can't afford much
baggage

here for you

Thanks for replying Rebecca and Greentea. I started a diary on Fitday.com which I think is great except that I can't get onto the site alot of the time.

I have been doing pretty well except for a slip last week in which I ate 170g of carbs in one day!! I guess it's kinda easy to do that though if you have rice etc. I'm limiting my carbs to below 30g a day and following the Protein Power diet.

I also bought a beginners Pilates tape, so i am trying to excercise also. Scared to weight myself at this early point.

How are you doing?

Jan

Hi, this is great that everyone is so friendly and willing to help. I too am new at this whole thing. I've had some great results so far. I'm in my first week. I live in NJ and work full time. I eat when I'm stressed (maybe living in NJ doesn't help). Chocolate is a comfort thing for me. Totally addicted but have managed to stay away from it for a few days now.

Good luck and hope to here from you.
