Post Newbie to Site

Hello all on the journey to the thin side. My names Shandra and I have begun the journey. I started Induction today and am so glad I have been welcomed to this site. There are so many awesome stories and I am so motivated by you all.
I did atkins over 9 years ago and had great success, but due to medical complications gained most of the weight back. So now once again I am ready to get my old body back and put this borrowed one back on the shelf. So I can't weight to meet you all and cheer each other on. I don't have a journal here yet, but I have one on another site, I take good and bad feedback and all the help I can get.

Hi there! My husband is a deployed Seabee. No worries, he's in guam but I miss him. I have my own very small home daycare program. I have 2 little boys 2 and 6. Were\are you in the Army or is your significant other? Both? If so, you know this life is NOT for wimps or whiners. You already have the strength and determination it takes to live it so this challenge, although it's a long road, is not beyond your capabilities.

Seabees Can Do...Seabee Wives Do, Just Did and will Do it AGAIN!

Welcome Shandra. Good idea to start a journal here to meet others and let everyone get to know you better. You'll receive lots of support and encouragement here. Getting to know others who are making it happen has been the biggest help to me in my journey. Glad to have you join us!

Hi there SoldierGirl... welcome to the board! You're in an awesome place if you want support, inspiration or just simple friendship. YOu'll find all here for sure.

Fantastic that you have a journal.... a great help and incentive to many.
You've done Atkins before you know how well it works. And it will work well again for you too if you keep focused on your target.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have; we're all happy to help wherever we can.
Happy losing!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. My hubby is currently in the Army getting ready to deploy. I was in for 8 years got out in 2001 and wow how the body can change in 6 years. I can't wait to catch up with all your journies and I will start my journal as soon as I find out where I am suppose to do that, Help? By the way does anyone know if HALLS(not yelling) cough drops have carbs and if they do what else can I use for a sore throat? Thanks all for the support.

Go to the Journal Chats

Go up to the upper left area and start yourself a new thread! If you create it, they will come! you will make terrific friends over there. I'm sure there are others whose spouses are in the Military!
