Hi all, Cilantro7 here.

So, I've been around the low carb block a few times now,
and it is by far the most effective woe for me. About 5 years
ago I got down to a weight I hadn't seen since the Reagan
administration, which apparently was my cue to stop doing it.
I know, I know, brilliant move there, Sparky. (read the shrinking goddess site the other day, now call myself Sparky with the sarcastic voice in my head. Then start laughing.) Anyway, the result was predictable, and
let's just say that Lane Bryant and I are once again like *this.* sigh.

So, trying not to analyze why (why for god's sake?!) too much,
and just get back on the horse, the wagon, and the ketostix.
It's going swimmingly so far, other than being worried that my
breath could choke a camel.

I usually lurk on boards, but thought I'd jump in the deep end
this time and see if it helps me keep on track. Plus ya'll seem like
a really swell group of people, and there's never enough of that!

Cheers and a round of string cheese on me.... C.

Welcome, Cilantro7.

I'm another who is back after a major lapse, so I know what it's like.

I hope you find all these people to be of tremendous help to you, they have been for me. Wishing you lots of success.

You hold the key to your breath problem right in your own name-cilantro and parsley are from the same family and chewing on either will help to tone down the dragon breath. We wouldn't want to see CNN reporting on a slew of dead camels on top of all the other problems facing the middle east.
Just wanted to post a hello. Welcome to the site.

Chelsea,

Of course! Duh! *thwacks self on forehead* I never thought
of actually eating cilantro as a breath freshener. And yeah,
just what we need--"Fat American woman slays camel herd, Film
