So, if you're interested in joining us, stop by the Thanksgiving Challenge and post your stats. We'd love to have ya! (My motivation is to slim down some more before holiday pictures! )

Hello I'm Marlene, 23 years old and weighing 186 I'm very short at 5 ft even so the weight looks really bad on me. I decided to start low carbin' for the first time and found all you wonderful ladies! I would love to join all of you great people and set a goal of losing 25 lbs by then! Praying to be 161 by then! I love the support you all give each other. I'm so happy to join this!

Welcome Marlene! I am 5'0 too, so I know where you are coming from! I weighed 174 at my heaviest, not too far from where you are now. Wish I had known about low carb back then. I suffered through low fat for a couple years till I finally decided to try low carb. It is so much easier to live this way, I am still amazed! The people on this site are great and are a super resource if you have any questions. Just wanted to say HI.

Count me in.

I have just recently (as in a week ago) gone on a low carb diet. I went to the library and researched a few books but ultimately chose the Curves diet book to model my diet after.

I gave up so many bad things in my life for my son and figure that bad eating is the thing that I can stop that will benefit us both the most so I will be around much longer.

I would like to lose 40lbs (approx 10%) by Thanksgiving. My trouble is I don't have a scale and most don't weigh me anyhow so I have to go to the Dr. office to check. So I don't have a week by week check but my goal is to get to 350 by Thanksgiving so I can start to weigh myself at home.

This may seem like a high number but I know I can do it if I stick to this and get off my butt more often.

Welcome Noel! SO GLAD you found LCE.com!! This is by far the best LC site... the people here are so friendly and very knowledgeable! (No, I'm not affiliated w/ the site... just love it!)

Glad you decided to join the Thanksgiving Challenge. It's located under the Challenge Clubs forum. I'll post your stats today, but be sure to go here to read the posts and check in when you can. Don't worry about posting your stats weekly... just post them when you can. But be sure to check the posts in the challenge for encouragement/advice. And let us know if you need encouragement, too!

With your positive attitude toward this WOE (way of eating) you definitely have a great shot at meeting your Thanksgiving goal!

So glad you're here!
