42 yr old photographer from Canada but living in Portugal. Loves wine and chocolate passionately! Which is probably why I'm here at fatsecret. Recently dx'd with Hypothyroidism (explains a lot lol) and have always been about 20-ish lbs give or take (12kg or so) overweight. It's time I make some serious lifestyle changes. Low carbing seems to work for me for initial loss but once at my ideal weight would like to maintain a balanced diet that includes carbs...and wine.
