    Newbie from Oz

    Just a general hi to all!

    The usual story, been there done that, lost about 20kg over a year ago when my DH and I discovered Atkin's. I was thrilled by how much I lost, then life got crazy for a while and because I was only just finding my way with this WOE I began slipping into old habits and soon had gained it all back and then some!

    I know this works... it's a little difficult as I live in a small country town in the South of Western Australia, we don't have access to all the low carb convenience foods in the supermarket that you guys seem to. I have to make everything from scratch, and restaurants/cafes do not do low carb options. You are lucky if there are vegetarian selections on the menu! Not whining, well not much just realised that I need some support if I'm going to do this successfully. So, thought I'd drop in and say Hi and that I may dropping by every now and again.

            Hi Carol, I guess my name tells you where I am.

            There are some online sources of low-carb food options in Aus, if you're down with ordering off the net. Here's one from the Australia thread in the Interational forum: www.empowerfoods.com.au
