Hello from New Jersey US

Hi there! Been low carbing since Jan. 1 2017. Found the 2KD podcast about a month ago and decided to jump on the boards.
13 years ago I did strict Atkins. Lost 40 and then broke my leg. Was at the mercy of family and friends who were so wonderful about bringing my family dinner, I couldn’t ask for something special for me.
Back on track, and having fun with all the internet told that weren’t around the first time. Yippee!
Hope to encourage and learn on these boards.

Fellow new jersian here! Atlantic county. Also did Atkins, back in 2000-2002. Lost 90 lbs…stuff happened…gained all back and then some 20 lbs more. Now I’ve been Keto since January 2015, lost 80 lbs so far, 20 more to go. Yes having the internet is such a great tool this time around! Let’s do it for life this time around!

Thanks People’s!
I’m in Union County, just a trip up the parkway from Atlantic County!

I went to Stockton for 2 years, but am in Union County now.
Great accomplishment in your journey. I really liked Atkins, thinking that more is what I’m doing now anyway.

Keep on keeping on…

Welcome, I also live in the Garden State, across the river from Philly. I also did Atkins back in 2001 but it did not last as I tried, unsuccessfully, to find a balance of of what I thought back then was a “heathy diet” and the the Atkins approach. Needless to say 10 years later I was heavier than ever. Then I happened upon a reference to Phinney and Volek’s books and have not looked back since. Really enjoy this community that has sprung up thanks to the 2KD’s. I think you will find the same.
