Hi to all of you dieters out there! I too have started to diet. I am in my 40's, 5'5" and started at 187. I am now at 181 after 2 weeks.

Here's my story: About 3 years ago I lost 30 lbs doing the low carb thing. I always heard to look for your weakness and that's where you cut back. My weakness it most definetely carbs! I also found cutting them out or back made me not crave them as much. I have to say even just losing 30 lbs...I looked great and got alot of compliments. The compliments were nice but I did it for my health. My cholestrol was over 200.
Now 4 years later, I'm back at 187. I went through alot in the past year and a half. I left my somewhat abusive husband, got divorced, and later met a wonderful man. We moved in together and everything fell apart. I mean with my diet and exercise. WE GOT COMFORTABLE! I was eating too much prepared food and not exercising enough. I am so mad at myself for letting this happen again.

I started my diet about 2 weeks ago and my boyfriend has been real supportive. I am loading on the proteins and avoiding carbs. or atleast eating good carbs. I haven't really ramped up the exercise program yet. I wish I had a buddy! But I am getting there. I walk when the weather's bearable. It's been real cold here. I also went out this weekend and bought a pilates exercise package....ball, bands, weights and dvd. I have yet to watch the dvd but hope to get that going too.

I am not going to try any of the pills mentioned on the website. I'm affraid to. I was just taken over by the acai and colonxr people. I lost $130.00!!

I will take any support you all can offer. ALSO SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE!
