Hi there! Welcome to my low carb & lovin' life webpage. My name is Dottie-Lynn and I used to be
morbidly obese. I had tried every diet in the book to lose the excess weight. I finally had to take control of my life and get serious about getting healthy as I am a diabetic, have lupus, fibromyalgia and arthritis. I reached my top weight of 340 pounds in January of 2000. I had considered bariatric surgery but I live in Canada and this surgery is not covered by our provincial health care plan. I started to live one day at a time and lost a total of 150 pounds! I am 5' 7" and now weigh 190 pounds. I reached my goal in 2002. A couple of years ago when I was going through a very stressful time in my life I threw all caution to the wind and gained back 30 pounds. I finally realized that I was heading toward being obese again so I decided that for once and for all I would get back on track and lose those excess pounds. I will no longer let my emotions control me as I have become a stronger person and on my low carb food plan I get plenty to eat and feel satisfied which is very important to me. I am now 57 years old and feel healthier than ever before.
I'm no longer on medication for diabetes because now I control it by eating the low carb way. I found a low carb food plan works best for me and I can maintain my weight loss just by following this lifestyle. My Doctor is very pleased and tells me to keep doing what I'm doing as my sugar levels are now normal.
Shopping for clothes is my new hobby. I have connected to other low carb sites for support like Jimmy Moore's �Livin� La Vida Low-Carb Blog�
