You were in the Chat, because I can see your lines there. No one replied, but that's just because members are not really using the feature. If right now you have problems accessing the Chat, here's the link to it: Atkins Diet - Smilies

Let me know if it doesn't work.

If you post a thread in the "Main Atkins Diet" forum, something like "Let's chat @ 8pm EST", then you might be able to gather some people there.

I'm definitely in need of someone to talk to through this. We can challenge each other and work on things together.

I also have yahoo, skype, and oovoo. Send me a PM if you want those.

Hi, I really need a buddy - or a few of them. I simply cannot seem to do this. I did it a while ago and lost about 10 lbs. Gained it all back over the past few years. Now I really want to do it and loose 15. My problem - I can't seem to have enough foods that I like. I feel like I can only stand so much meat and I am not real big on salad right now for some reason. I do make deviled eggs and such but can't do it. Need help! I have reved up my exercise to about 500 cals a day - one would think I should be dropping weight like crazy but I am not. sad!

I'd be happy to be your diet buddy. I've found that this is the best way for me to get through this. My hubby started out doing it with me, but he's kinda sorta bailed on me so I need a friend! LOL

Hi guys.

I am glad to see you are making new friends here. However, I am not sure everyone is fully aware of the implications of posting your email address on a bulletin board.

As moderators, we are trying to verify everyone who signs on ADBB and we have the tools to stop obvious spammers and trolls from posting before any/major damage is caused. However, given the number of new members that register every day and the limited amount of personal information many of them share, some simply slip through the net. Thus, despite our best efforts to keep the Board a safe and friendly place for everyone, not all registered members are here to lose weight.

There are several security issues that arise from sharing your email addresses or any other personal information. Your inbox may be bombarded with all kinds of spam (porn, violent, abusive, etc.). You may be stalked, harassed or embarrassed on the Internet. Your real full name can be easily found. If you are using Facebook, MySpace or other social networking websites, more personal details or photos may get into the wrong hands and used as such, with possible consequences on your family life and jobs.

For the reasons above, I would like to ask you to edit the posts you have made in this thread and to remove your email addresses and IM handles. If you are unable to do these changes within the next 12 hours, a moderator will do them for you. Private information can be traded via private messaging, but remember: not everyone is here to lose weight and ADBB is not responsible if the information you share gets into the wrong hands.

I am not suggesting you should stop using the Board or enjoying your experience at ADBB, as most members are here for exactly the same reasons as you -- lose weight and become healthier. However, please think carefully before sharing any personal information.

Every interaction between members that takes places on the Board is subject to our Terms of Service: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...uncements.html

Therefore, if you receive any message (reply, visitor message or private message) that does not conform to the ADBB Terms of Service, please approach a moderator or an administrator via PM. We would also encourage you to add the member who has sent you the message to your Ignore List, in order to avoid any further contact with him/her. Your Ignore List can be edited by following User CP >> Settings & Options >> Edit Ignore List. If you encounter problems modifying the Ignore List, please PM a moderator for assistance.

To the moderator.....


I appreciate your cause for concern and I will obey your wishes. But just for the record... I got a spam filter so I don't really care about people sending spam to me. There isn't really anything someone could threaten me with on the net that I haven't heard before and can't handle. If someone ever wanted to stalk me, that would be one of the most flattering things that has ever happened to me lol. The facebook pictures one would upload is on their own agenda and their own calling IE - Don't stick something on the internet you don't want anyone to see.
And finally anyone who wants to track me who would even matter doesn't even need the info I put up on here. People such as the private investigators who are following me everywhere I go. They don't need the small info I post or anyone else may post. All they need is their reverse lookup, ip sniffers, and whois programs to find me or anyone else.

Again... I will obey, I just wanted to maybe make you feel a bit better about the fact that I had my info up on there.
It won't happen again.


BUT!!!!
I still do want another weight loss buddy!!!!! hehe
Anyone that wants to be my buddy, send me a private


P.S... Thanx Georgiana!!! Doin a fantastic job!
