Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to my first blog! I am completely new at this but I am sure it will not be that difficult. I want to share my low carb journey on this blog. I will try to tell what has happened to me on a daily low carb basis and give new and exciting info about the low carb world! My inspiration is Mr. Jimmy Moore. He has a wonderful blog at www.livinlavidalowcarb.com and he is a great inspiration to me. Check out his blog to find out how much weight he has lost and maintains using the low carb way of life.

After reading Jimmy Moore's blog and then his book I was so inspired to start low carb for the final time. I will be living the low carb way forever. Did you hear that?....FOREVER!!!! I have learned so much reading Jimmy's blog. Things that I never new before, that I have a renewed energy and spirit. Who knew there was a thing called induction flu....ok...well maybe you did...but I didn't and it stopped me in my tracks each time I tried to low carb. Induction flu is the first few days to a couple of weeks (depending on the person) when you are on the induction phase of your low carb. Your body is getting rid of toxins and all the nasty dependency (drug addiction) to SUGAR!!!!!!! (Thanks Kent Altena for your help on this matter).
Well being the goddess that I am...and yes... I am the goddess in my home! :) I would never stick it out long enough to get through this induction flu...cause it was icky feeling. Well I have since learned by the aforementioned smart people of low carb that this goes away....it goes away?? COOL!!!
So, with that being mentioned, I started my low carb wol yesterday at 292.4 pounds. I am 5'5" tall and 37 years old (and boy is this goddess feeling older than the hills packing around all this weight). I will post more about my eating, weight, experiences over time. But for now, take my advice go to Jimmy Moore's blog and read up. He is very well educated and a walking testament to this low carb thing. Talk to you all tomorrow! Blessings!

I am glad that it finally clicked for you. The first two weeks is particularly stressful, but once you prove that control, you certainly have demonstrated the resistance for the rest. I look forward to seeing your success stories as you achieve your milestone and show what a success you are.
