Default Newbie here <-

Hello everyone, nice to met you all. Seeing is believing so that is why I have desided to do this diet. As much as it kills me because carbs are my downfall (chips, potatos, breads ect..)
My husband's ex was a large women also then about a year ago she started this diet and now she is a size 10. She is very much like myself so if she can get there so can I DARN IT!
Anyways... I'm going to be 35 in May, I have two children 8 and 6, this is my second marriage and a few months ago I quit my job of 8 yrs. (where I was very active for 6-8 hours per day) to move to another state for my Hubby's job and be a stay at home mom. I have always been big BUT
The SAHMA (Stay at home mothers association) did not contact me and warn me about the extra 50 pounds I would gain by doing this.
So about a week ago I decided to start working out, drink lots of water, and find a diet that I will stick too.
I joined the site because I am going to need all the support I can get, and I really don't know anyone here to talk to. So please don't hesitate to contact me either through here or email me on yahoo.

Thank you

Grrrrrr..... I still have to buy a scale. The only reason I know my weight now is because of the doctor's office and I'm not going there once a week :P

I am so glad you found us! I lost my job in October of last year, and became a stay at home mom. I managed to pack on 19 pounds quicker than you would believe. I couldn't fit into any of my clothes, and I was so depressed! I was terrified of seeing anyone I used to work with, and I felt old and ugly. I finally decided to get off my getting fatter by the minute butt and find a diet I could live with. I googled the Atkins diet and found ADBB. That was early Feb., and on Valentine's Day I joined ADBB and as of TODAY I lost the 19 pounds I put on!!! This way of life works, and you can do it!! Trust me, if I can kick the carbs to the corner, so can you!! My whole diet was bread, candy, cookies, more cookies, and fast food!!! I could eat a whole pizza by my self, no problem. Last night my DH and kids had pizza, and I had fried turnips and green beans with turkey cutlets. Yummy!!!!
Please, keep us posted. If you need anything you can PM me anytime. Welcome!!
