Default Hello fromDown Under!

I have been lurking around for a few days, reading up on here and wow what a board! So much info and support. I am from Australia and have decided to embark on a low carb lifestyle. Been battling my weight practically all my life and five years ago had lap-band surgery, lost heaps and heaps of weight, but 18months in, developed complications and finally had to have it removed, I've managed to keep off about 75% what I lost but the other 25 slowly crept back on. Now I am on my own and the low carb way is the only one I can see working for me long term. Started on the 9th June and have lost 3kg, still craving something sweet, but I know it will pass. I am doing Atkins now, tried once before in the 80's and although I was loosing inches hardly any weight came off and I gave up after about 2 months, plus there was not much support around here in those days for low carb. I'd love to hear for ppl who have been on this type of eating long term and how is it going,
Hugs to all


ps: (note I did not use the word "DIET" once)

hello, Sudsey. I happen to think this is a great place, but will readily admit to being just the tinest bit biased. (Of course, doesn't change my conclusions any!)

Congrats on your decision to take control of your health now, while it's easier. Glad to have you with us.

Nice to meet you Sudsy,

We started on the same day! Hope you success. This is a great place to hang out with others going through the same food issues. I am having to find things to do, since I'm not eating all the time..lol.

Look forward to your progress.

Kerry
