Hello Everyone

Hi

I am ready to get cracking with this after reading the book over and again for the past year or so.

I have just turned 30 and I am a Type 1 diabetic. I have been needing more and more insulin lately and although I knew in my head that low carb or Atkins was the only way to successfully lower my blood sugar levels, I found I was reluctant to give up all the bad carbs that I so crave each day!

I am around a stone overweight, and could only forsee this getting worse as the years go by so I made a decision over this weekend to go for it.

It has been great reading everyone's stories and I wish everyone including myself good luck with this

Hi Karen, welcome to ADBB!

Talking in stones is my kinda thing, whereabouts are you from?

Best of luck on your weightloss journey.

Welcome Karen! Good thing you've read the book (again). It is always motivational to re-read what you already know. I'll look forward to seeing you around.

Hi Sillygirl

Thankyou! I wish I had acted on the book rather than using it as a novel!

Fingers crossed now
