Hi there!
I am excited about getting my new eating plan underway (enjoyed my tuna, spinach leaves and hardboiled egg for lunch).
I just purchased Scott Hannen's book Healing by Design. My being a soon to be reformed carboholic, has given me diabetes and in June 2008 I suffered a heart attack. Time to get serious about weight loss for my health's sake. I am 56 years old, work full time as a child care director, am married ( to a bean pole of course, lol) and have two kids (boy 16 and girl 13). I look forward to hearing you success stories and hope to share mine SOON!!
Mavis from Louisville, Ky.

Mavis. Glad you found us. I am not familiar with Scott Hannen or his eating methodology. I assume from your comments that it is a low carb WOE. Good Luck.

Hi Mavis!
Welcome to LCE!

I know what you mean about being married to a "bean pole" kinda guy!

Best wishes on your journey to healthy eating and weight loss.
Post often and let us know how it's going!

Hello Mavis! So happy you found this site! There is a whole area on here (somewhere I am not sure how I found it at the moment) that has many success stories. I find them to be very motivating. Keep posting so we can help if you need it or just celebrate your losses with you.

Welcome Mavis! I too am married to a bean pole. And since we've been doing this WOE for about 6 years now, he's continued to be a bean pole and doesn't show signs of looking like his dad at all. He's still the same size he was when we got married, 20 years ago. (although, he DOES get his carby snacks from time to time, but fortunately he does like trail mix, which I make myself with lots of nuts.)

Glad to have you with us. Don't hesitate to ask questions, share and just generally chat.

Thanks for the welcome! So far so good. My church is doing a "corporate fast" (always do for the first 3 days of each month) and I'm participating...which should help me stick to it when I resume low carb diet on Thursday.

What the heck's a "corporate fast?"
