Introducing...myself

Hello,
My name is Brian Schade. As of today, I started a new lo-carb plan.

It's been about 4 years since I last went on the Atkin's Diet. During the
two months I was on it, I lost 30 pounds. I will never forget that
experience. Since then, I've tried getting back on it, but had problems for
one reason or another. I gave up a couple of years ago, and convinced
myself that it was unhealthy anyway. But I never forgot those 30 pounds
lost during those two months. The last few days, I figured I'd give it
another try.

This time I'm very interested in succeeding. I am currently the heaviest I
have ever been in my life. I need to get rid of these extra pounds. My
sons and new daughter need me to, and so does my wife. Not to mention
myself. I'm feeling bloated, and I think my 34-year-old body is starting to
feel the effects. My knees hurt, and my back is not in great shape. So
this time, I need to make it work.

I plan to combine my diet with a decent excercise program. Mainly to prod
the weight loss along. I'm not a patient man when it comes to these things.
I want to experience that 30 pound weight loss again, and then keep it going
for a good 70 pounds after that. I'll be happy if I reach 200. I'll be
ecstatic if I get to 185.

What I need now is a good resource for recipes. If anyone has one, I'll be
grateful for the reference. I look forward to keeping up with y'all during
this time.

Sincerely,

Brian M. Schade, MCP, MCSE
