Starting LDL tomorrow, 5/17/09

Where do I start? Let's see... I was kinda skeptical when my mom told me about reading about this plan in First magazine. I have tried a lot of the "diets" mentioned in First and none of them worked. None. I am a diet failure. I am also a research fanatic. So, I decided to research this lifestyle change and happened across this board. Now all I can say is "wow". All of you are an inspiration.
Over the last week or so, I have been eating low carb. I have a sluggish thyroid & am on high doses of synthroid for that and low carb is the only plan that has worked for me in the past. Hubby & I are taking the kids to the beach in October during their fall break and I desperately want/need to lose weight before then. Well, tomorrow is a new day. And a new way of life. I can honestly see myself eating like this forever... and I haven't even started yet.
I have around 175 pounds to lose before I'm at the weight I probably should be for my height and bone structure. I know it will not all come off over night but I want it all to come off eventually. This plan just makes so much sense. I have prayed to God to show me how to get all of this junk off my body & to get healthy so I can better serve Him. I truly believe He has led me here, even through my initial skepticism. Unfortunately, I do not have the extra money right now for the book so this board is going to be my source of info until I can get the book.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and can't wait to embark on this new journey tomorrow to skinnytown!
