newbie and diet success story

Hi there,

I've lurked on the newsgroups for some time, but never posted. My husband
and I are both overweight and have just re-evaluated our eating habits and
fitness habits in an attempt to change our lifestyles, both for our own
sakes and our childrens'. We have decided to give low-carbing a try, but we
do a lower fat version and we DON"T do Atkins, we dont' completely cut out
carbs, we still eat fruit and such, and it is working for us quite well thus
far. My husband is a type II diabetic and has high blood pressure, and I
have hypothyroidism. We're a mess! =)

Along with our renewed sense of health, we have created a website which we
feel will help us and many others as well. It is at
www.weightloss-stories.com. It is a place where people can post their
weight loss success stories in order to help motivate and inspire others
towards their own successful weight loss and fitness health. It's fully
searcheable by gender, pounds lost, dietplan, etc.

It's an entirely free site to use, there are no charges for anything, and we
aren't selling anything. So please come and post your success stories or
'works in progress' along with your before, during, and after photos and
help inspire others, (and us!).

I'd really like to compare the success of different plans through reading
these various stories, although I am sure it really doesn't come down to the
plan so much as the determination of the person following the plan!

Take care, I hope you'll visit soon.

Leasa.
