| HI there welcome to atkins and to this great board I hope that you will find it as useful and encouraging as i have set a few mini goals to make the final goal not seem so far off, you will soon be hitting each and every mini goal til you hit your final goal, i look forward to getting to know more about you :wave

| Thank you ztachick for the nice welcome. I think your idea of mini goals is a good one. My total loss needs to be 110 pounds and right now I am shooting for 60, but maybe smaller would be more in line. Maybe 10 or 20 at a time would be better.

| Blue, I see from you signature that you are older, which I am too. I have found that unfortunately for me, I am losing slower than most. I have been doing this for about a month, and only lost 5 lbs during induction. This board has spurred me on tho, giving me advice and encouragement to keep pushing forward. I dont have as much to lose as you but there are all types at all levels here at this board so its nice to know there are many of us that all fighting the same battle in one way or another. Keep on spinning, its a great way to burn those calories and for older folks thats also important. Welcome and keep posting, I will be interested in watching your progress!

| Hi Cathy. Before I started Adkins I couldn't lose weight no matter what diet I was on including starvation. Then after gaining 10 more pounds on SB I knew I was going the wrong way for supposedly being on a diet. I found this site and the weight started coming off. I know I will slow down and that is okay as long as I keep going down and not up. You are right, at our age losing is a lot harder. Even 5 pounds is a great feat for us. So hang in there Cathy and if you need someone to talk to - I will be here.
