I live in beautiful Washington State in a little Norwegian town called
Poulsbo. We live a ferry ride away from Seattle. I am married to my
second husband Kenny. I have a boy and a girl from my first marriage. I
have three grandsons. One of whom graduated this year from high school.
Don't know how that happened.

I have dieted most of my life. Tried everything and then the last few
yeas I just ate everything I wanted. I finally said this is it when I
got real close to 200 lbs. Another thing my sister had just had the
bypass surgery and I sure didn't want to go there.

I had been on the low carb diet in the 70's and knew it worked for me. I
just had to get myself ready to do it. I started on March 15, 2001 and
have lost 22 lbs so far. I feel great. That is saying more than most
because I have fibromyalgia. The change has been tremendous. I still
take 2 pain meds. a day so I think that is one reason I lose so slow. I
don't care (most times) if it is slow because I feel so much better. I
plan to be on this WOE for the rest of my life and am so glad to have
this great board to come to. Keep up the good work everyone. Sharon
