Good day Aquaryus,
Welcome to the spotlight. Hey wait, get back here......it's all good, come on!!
Here we go, Atkineers, meet Aquaryus, Aquaryus meet Atkineers. See how painless that all was.
(Don't mind me - I have issues.....haha)
Welcome to the board sweetheart!! I loved your post, it shows determination and motivation. Trust me, I'm right there with you on that Christmas thing. My name is Scooter, I have lost 73 pounds following this way of life. I had a slight detour at Christmas time, started with (1) one uno cookie, and 5 weeks later I'd put back on 14 pounds!!! I've since lost that plus some more, so don't roll those pretty eyes, it happens!!
Anyway, I came back more focuses, more determined, and my fine friends here at ADBB asked me to host the Spotlight and welcome Newbies and ReStarter's such as yourself back into the spotlight! Sooooo here I am, and here you are! Excellent choice!! Baarb was right...stare down those donuts, you don't need them anymore, you've got us!! This board is a buffett of Success Stories and motivation.
