Hey,

Is anyone else just starting out? I would love to have a thread of people starting today so we can share ups and downs, recipes and just generally support each other.

I am 31, a mother of 3 girls aged 8,6 & 3. I am also overweight and unwell. I have purchased the BSD book and recipe book and have got all my ingredients and started this morning! I am excited but petrified too as i live off this constant carb and sugar binge cycle which i so desperately want to be free of!

Im not sure on exercising as its all ready very low calorie and i dont want to make myself hungrier then need be, does anyone have any experience/ advice around this?

Looking forward to meeting new people 🙂

Hi Mssamd9, welcome to the forum. For support and experience based knowledge, the weekly thread is a good one to join. There are newcomers, returnees and old hands on that thread, so it is always busy with lots of info exchanged and experience shared. The current weekly thread is One Week at a Time 1st September and I know you would get a warm welcome – it’s very inclusive and non-judgmental.

With regards to exercise, you might well feel wiped out initially, as your body adjusts to burning fat instead if carbs fir it’s energy. Once that has passed, you should find your energy levels rise and exercising even on 800 is doable.

Hope we might see you on ths weekly thread, but wherever you post, best wishes for a great outcome.
