    Hey folks! another 2nd timer

    Hey folks, looks like I got alot of company, I see alot of 2nd timers posting here! It's been 4 yrs since I started induction last, I lost about 15lbs and stalled, then gave in to the almighty GRAVY gods! Well dang it, I throwed out all my flour and I'm ready to get in shape! I'm M 5'6" weight around 206lbs. DOC says I should be around 160, HAH! when I was in the best shape of my life in my 20's/Army days I was 165. And at 41 I'm thinkin' 170lbs is more like it. Anyways, this WOE is for me 'cause I LOVE MEAT, whether it walks, crawls, swims or flies! farm raised, wild game, roadkill or any combo of the three! I also love green leafy veggies. Well, gotta go pick up my old dog ear'd copy of DANDR and brush up!

    cya!

      Hi Jim...2nd time is a charm. Much luck to you in your second journey. This is my second time as well and it is working out great. Don't get me wrong I have those days when I crave my cookies but those days I reach for my low carb balance bars

      Take care and no giving up this time!
