Arrow Brenda80-2lose ***ON MY WAY***

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally figured out this whole bulletin board thing! Its taking me 2 weeks to get on here! Maybe I'm just slow or having hard times with my e-mails. I have been on here every night though reading other peoples stories and looking at before and after pics, it has been so inspiring! Well let me tell you a little about myself , I'm 39 , I will be 40 at the end of July . Lol, but it would be so awesome if I could look better at 40 than I did at 30! My original goal was to be at 120 by the end of July, I'm going to try my hardest! I was on Atkins back in 89 , I lost 40 lbs in about 2 months but I am older now and I know my metabolism has slowed down. I didn't weigh the day before I started till about 2 weeks later, when I weighed I weighed 200, last week I weighed 198, but I know I've lost more than 2 lbs! I can tell a big difference in my clothes already! I did Atkins for awhile the end of 2005 till about March 2006, when I went astray I had lost about 30 lbs I guess but I quit exercising regularly, and it became so BORING!!! I am glad I found this awesome site and I don't feel alone anymore. I will try to get a pic posted soon. Thanks everyone!!!!

TO THOSE WHO CAN DREAM, THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE AS FARAWAY!!!

Hey, congratulations!!! I'm glad you're here ^^
I can still remember my first day on the ADBB! All I can say is - it has helped me A LOT. If I need to find out something or need any help with the diet - I can always get it here. Also it's a good experience to read all those many posts. Anyway, good luck with the diet! Don't cheat! Exercise! Drink your water and take your supplements! Cheers!
