I retired b/c I developed COPD. As a result, I am much more sedentary. I am a true carb addict and hope this will get me on my way to feeling better physically and mentallly. I lost 40lbs. over 20 years ago on the Adkins diet. I relapsed, regained and regretted my old ways taking over again. With God's help, I am sure I will make it again this time!
