Hello!

I looked at a couple of other low carb forums and have decided this seems like the nicest one. I have some experience as a veteran low carber but have been out there on my own for the last couple of years...and haven't faired all the well honestly! I am excited to start anew.

Just a little about me: I am married, have a teenage daughter and five cats. I know, I know, I have no idea how it happened, but it just did! I am an avid knitter, love movies and books and like nothing more that to spend time with my family. I work at a county health clinic and am planning on going to nursing school.

I have Polycystic Ovarian Disease and am getting ready to have a hysterectomy in November (yeah!). My short term goal, is to ready myself for the surgery. I would like to drop forty pounds by the time I have surgery, because I know it will help.

I exercise three times a week by lifting weights and walking on the treadmill. Although I am an Atkins veteran, I am going to give South Beach a whirl.

Well, that's it. Thanks for listening and I can't wait to talk to all of you.

Chelle

Hi Chelle,
Welcome to LCE; so glad you are here with us

Be sure to check out the South Beach Forum. I think there are several members still doing the *beach*

Good luck on your weight loss journey and your upcoming surgery as well.

Again, we're glad you're here!
