Hello, my name is Kara and I love sweets

Hi all, my name is Kara and I am really excited to do this challenge. I am a mom of 4 and am trying to shed some poundsand inches before I turn 30. I absolutley love homemade baked goods. From cookies to rice crispy treats, to homemade cinnomon caramel popcorn. I am trying to cut out carbs. It is really hard.

Hi Kara! I am also a sugar fiend. I'm pretty sure it is one of the most addicting substances on the planet!

Hello my friend! I am a big sugar lover, too. I've found that after the first week of cutting carbs, you quit craving them so much, which is good news!:)

Don't worry that it's hard. There has been a lot of research lately about how addictive it is, so just pat yourself on the back for all your efforts.

Glad you're here!
