First, I have to thank you for the sticky welcoming us back! I DO feel like a wayward traveler. It is really good to be in a place where we are welcomed!

I have lived the low carb lifestyle for 15 years or more, on and off! I've had success and I have had failures. But I am now 61 years old, a type 2 diabetic and a cancer survivor. Those are a few reasons to do this right this time, right?

Amazing how things work...I've been thinking about committing to the LC WOE again and what should appear in my email? An email newsletter from "Low Carb Eating"! Hmmm...think someone is trying to tell me something??

So, I'm here to learn, contribute, and get the support I need to live this lifestyle and live longer! I do recognize a few names. I have been around the various forums as "CalifornisChris" & "redqueen" for ages. I'm a long way from being new, but I am starting at the beginning.

I am very happy to have found you!

Chris

Hi Chris

Thank you for the kind welcome! I am feeling truly excited about being back on the wagon.

I sooo know what you mean! It feels so good to finally be back on track. It's amazing to me how just getting back on the wagon changes everything...even before anything really changes!

Welcome Chris,

So glad you are back! Welcome back to the lifestlye, I too, am back after my first failed attempt. I am extremely happy and excited to overcome this battle with food I have. I am looking forward to losing weight again. The first time I started LCE back in 2007, I dropped 25 lbs, but got sidetracked by the death of my grandmother, but after 2 years I have decided to take a chance again and do it! You can too!

Glad to have you with us, Chris, and especially glad to hear you felt welcomed here. Indeed, you are!

Excited is the word. I'm remembering now what a consuming (so to speak) "hobby" LCE has been for me in the past. It takes that kind of dedication for me to stay on track, and the truth is, I enjoy it. Reading, posting, thinking and talking LC all the time.

I look forward to seeing you often.
