Hello everyone,

As you can see I'm new here not sure if this is where I should write or not. I'm 28 from NY and I've been reading the post here and everyone seems very nice and helpful. I'm here because I need some ideas's, help, advice and a dieting buddie or buddies. Since I got married I gained almost 15lbs and I Know that 15lbs doesn't seem like alot but I'm scared if I don't do something now it's just going to get worse. My husband says I look fine but you know how that goes I just dont feel good about myself. I need inspration and motivation and you'll get the same back from me as long as your serious. I was thinking about doing the no carbo diet but like to know if it really works so if your doing it or did it please let me know how it is/was. So If anyone would like to be my buddie please replay. I have to get some sleep now have a good day/night and thank you for reading.

Hi, April!

This a great place for support....but I can't guarantee that we'll always be serious. LOL ;o) I think it's great that you're hopping on this weight gain before it gets away from you. That's not an easy thing to do.

I've been doing a variation of the low-carb diet, and I love it. I've been very successful with it. (Don't go by this week's weigh-in, please. I let Hurricane Isabel turn me into a carb-crunching machine for a few days, and it showed up on the scale this morning.) Until this morning, I've shown a loss at every weigh-in I've posted since starting on low carbs.

Welcome!

Hi April,

This is the best board!!

I too do low carbing, and I really like it. I have lost about 25 pounds doing it.

Stick around and get to know us, and let us get to know you too!

Hugs,
