Isn't losing weight great?

So yesterday I decided I had to do something. I have been off my low carb for a week and that's not good. Not only was I gaining weight back but I wasn't feeling great either. So I had 2 protein shakes during the day and dinner with hubby. Dinner was ham and deviled eggs plus a little corn. Surprisingly I wasn't hungry during the day. I think starting this blog kept my mind off eating so I wasn't head hungry and the shakes kept me from being physically hungry. The real reward was getting on the scale this morning and seeing I had lost 1 1/2 pounds. Not back to what I was last week but getting there.

Welcome. New Blog, First Post

I started the journey of low carbing in January 2011. I've tried lots of ways to lose weight and so far I am very encouraged about low carbing. There are some great forums, blogs and books to help along the way. After having a Lap Band for almost 3 years and having very little success I've been very discouraged. I started with a new primary care doctor who told me that I am so insulin resistant that the band was not going to work for me. When I started seeing him my blood sugar was out of control but after 3 months and a change in medication they are almost normal. I'm not losing tons of weight fast but at least I am losing by watching the carbs. I hope this blog will be of interest and will have some helpful yummy recipes, sometimes mine and sometimes linking to others.
