Hello Everyone...

[mommyshelly]

I have been watching this forum for sometime, but just started atkins for the second time this past Sunday so I am on day 4 and I am already starting to see some movement in the scales which is just FABULOUS!!! I am also doing Curves workouts 4 times a week. My first mini goal is to drop 50 lbs, which would put me under 200lbs... I have not see a number under 200 since middle school. I have always been heavy and have a large build, but this time I am planning to make huge progress and I am not giving up until I get it.

I have found a great deal of motivation from this forum just by reading old posts so I am hopeing to find even more by actually participating...

Hi. Welcome aboard! Congratulations on making the committment to join and become active with the board. For me, the best thing was making friends to encourage me. You'll find lots of information, challenges, recipes and motivational stories that will keep you focused.

Have you taken your measurements? I can't tell you how thrilling it is to see the inches dropping as well as the weight going down. Most of all, make plans to succeed, exercise regularly and enjoy your new way of life (WOL). Best wishes and keep us updated on your progress!
