Hi,everyone. MY story read if you like

[KaliStacey]

hi everyone. my name is stacey. I'm starting the atkins real soON! i should be finishing the book real soon too and am looking for motivation and inspirations! i would like to say that everyone on here are so supportive and motivated! i admire that so much. thank god there is an atkins diet bulletins. i know it is very important for us woman or young ladies, to motivate one another. Thats why i joined. My struggles are that i have no one to motivate me. i have been depress and given up so many diets but never tried the atkins diet. i'm just sick and tired of being so fat and ugly! tired of cryin myself to sleep. being over weight really holds me down.. i have no motivation to do anything, i have no family to support me for anything and yes i am alone. i'm sure there are lot of you out there that understand where i'm comin from. i just really need help. i'm doin this for myself. I know losing weight is important because it boosts ur self esteem and makes u wanna reach for the stars. so i just wanted to say hi to everyone and please, give me some advice. so quotes,some motivation,some love! take care!

Welcome to !! You can do this "diet" although its more of a way of life/eating than a diet! But you can do this! I've been exactly where you have been , with trying this "diet" and that "diet" and my weight rebounding everywhere... Just stick to this once you start and you will succeed! Nice to meet you btw

WELCOME KALISTACEY!
Yes, the ADBB is a lifesaver for most of us here. When you eat you eat with others, when you diet ... you diet alone. That was the problem with me all of my life. I felt like I was being punished everytime I was on a weight loss program. And I always failed. ATKINS is different. And the ADBB gives you support and motivation to keep going and reach your goal. Everyone here is fantastic when it comes to freindship, information and great conversation.

Glad you are reading the book. Remember to PLAN your success, take supplements, EXERCISE, and drink lots of water. I look forward to reading about your success!!

Welcome Stacey!

No doubt about it, you're going to love ADBB! The people I've met here are the best, I couldn't have stayed with it if it wasn't for them.

I agree with the other ladies, you can't use ATKINS as a "diet" or it will just turn into a fad, because you fall off and back on, off, on ,off, etc! LOL! This needs to be a permanent change in your life. If you do low-carb and then reach goal and go off, your gonna gain it all right back, plus more possibly! Go through and read the success stories, look at the before and after pics. This WOE really does WORK!

You can do this, go to the recipe section and look at all the good things you can have. You have many wonderful options!

Good Luck!!!

welcome to ADBB. as you read your book you are going to see Dr Atkins has a list of recommended supplements and vits take your book to the store and see what brands you can find that come closest to what he recommends. he also recommends you visit your doc for preAtkins blood work.
SInce you have depression you want to make sure it is brain chemical and not thyroid caused before you start too.

Finish your book and talk to your doc then jump on board and be a big loser with us.
