Mobius is on a distinguished road
Red face Im really excited to have found this place!

Hello! im Mobius Im a 28 year old mother of two, wife of one and feeder of one shihtzu. Im currently 64kilos, and at 4ft 11 inches that is about 10 kilos (r 20 lbs)too heavy for me.

BUT!!! All that is about to change, Im starting day one of induction in 12 hours time

Ive got three of the Atkins books here and Ive been chewing through them and digesting it all as best I can. I come from a terrible history of the most rediculous dieting dramas you can imagine, none of them im particularly proud of, but thats history and today is all about bein excited about my new journey

I have had a few half hearted attempts at low carb before but this is the first time Ive been really serious about it. I know it works well for my body, even in only a week I had seen results. Im hoping that this time my husband will join me, he is very lean and fit, great motivation, great cause of frustration and self loathing too at times (terrible feeling like a fat useless blob when you live with superman!)


SO, yeh if anyoneis looking for a pityful soul to adopt and montor Id be really appreciative of all help and support! Id love anyone to contact me either via pm, or even email at emilyeatsworms@hotmail.com

see you guys around!

Welcome. You'll find lots of support and encouragement here. My advice is to get active, make friends and enjoy yourself. We're all doing this togeher and keeping each other motivated as we change our old ways and build new healthy habits and lives. There are challenges, journals, before/after stories/photos and lots of warm friendly people who want to help.

Hi Mobius! Welcome to the board. Your e mail address is a hoot. Makes me wonder how many carbs there are in worms!

You are not a pitiful soul, you have a great sense of humor and I'm glad you found the board! The key here is to come to the board frequently. Your friends here will help you every step of the way!

Wow! I hadn't noticed your email addy until Silly mentioned it! Too funny. Reminds me of that diet doctor in... ummm... maybe it was Egypt, not sure... who made a fortune, many years ago, giving out diet pills that really worked fantastically well. Enormous success rate.
All was fine (for him) until they discovered that he was giving his patients worms!!!

No wonder they lost weight!

Sorry for going off at a tangent.
