Hi everyone. My name is Debs, I am a 41 yr old mum of 2 beautiful daughters. I am just starting out on the induction phase. and I am hoping to lose the 30lbs I gained after quitting smoking. I have tried other diets but I just end up feeling so hungry and deprived that I quit. Recently I conquered my caffiene addiction and feel that I just need to shift my bit of excess weight and to complete my healthier way of living. I've read my DANDR and it looks like my kinda food. So I'm starting today. Any support will be so appreciated.

Re: Just introducing myself
Welcome, Inky! I agree with everyone... kudos for reading the book as your first step. This is the only way of eating I've ever been successful losing weight with, and that's because of what you said... it's my kind of food! Even though I used to be a carb/sugar-a-holic, not having to give up the rich and creamy sauces, butter, and cheese really has made a difference in my staying power.
This board is a great resource -- I encourage you to visit often! Best of luck to you...Comment
