Life is a buffet and only the suckers are starving (Joan Collins)

On January 18, 2000 I embarked on the greatest adventure of my life!  I read a book because it was controversial and I loved it!  I discovered a new way of eating, and thus a new way of life.  To date I have lost a little over 45 pounds.  All I had to do was reduce my daily amount of carbohydrates.  Anybody that has yo-yo dieted or had problems controlling their weight should at least read this book.  The book is by Dr. Atkins and it's called the New Diet Revolution.
I have found many, many great web sites with alot of good information about eating a low carb diet.  I have listed some of my favorties for you!  They are worth the visit!
Great Places on the Internet to buy Low Carb Products!
I've finally decided to add some pictures of my progress
My heaviest - I NEVER thought I'd show these to anyone!
These are after I had lost about 30 to 35 pounds
This is after I had lost the 45 pounds ~ I'm sitting but you can see the difference in my face/legs/arms ~ Guess I'm still camera shy! :)
UPDATE!  Here is a picture from our Caribbean cruise in December 2004.  I STILL haven't gained all that weight back again!!!!  I yo-yo 10 - 15 pounds, but with Low Carb, I can easily drop the weight back down.
Here I am in the summer of 2003
