Welcome to ADBB, Brandy. I think a lot of us started out a bit anxious, but this is about as reassuring a place you could hope to find for fellowship in the endeaver to lose weight and become more healthy.

Welcome Brandy. You've come to the right place for encouragement and motivation. There are so many wonderful people here, information, challenges, recipes and more! The secret for me was to get active, make friends, share your success ~ this will keep you focused on reaching your goal. Since you did it before, write down what made you quit..and make plans now so that you can face those same obstacles next time and keep going! You can do it, we are all here to help!

Brandy, I'm right with you. I was looking hot last summer....I have no idea why I couldn't stick to re-induction as another 5 pounds crept on, then another 5, and now I'm up to +35, and not at all pleased with myself. So I'm glad that you're back - and I think with this site, we can stick with it this time and remain the hotties God intended us to be! |

Hello Brandy! Welcome to the spotlight. My name is Scooter, I'm your faithful Spotlight host, here (better late than never....sorry) to welcome you to the board! Don't be afraid of those before pictures hon, before long, they'll be a thing of the past. I post my before picture on my mirror in the bathroom and on the front of the fridge! Let me tell ya, THAT is motivation if nothing else is. I've lost 73 pounds so far following this wonderful way of life and so much better off for it. Since your not new to the lifestyle, might I suggest hopping over to the Second Time Around Club (we lovingly refer to ourselves as STACer's) for those of us who have, wandered away, fell off the wagon, so to speak (your humble narrator included) only to find our way back into the warm light of the Low Carbing! Also, I'd like to share some threads and links with you, this is some helpful reminders, and tools to get the ball rolling (as my good friend Outback Jess would say) and pick up momentum!! Rules of induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard....read.php?t=6782 Acceptable foods: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard....read.php?t=6781 Awesome Recipes: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/index.html Caloric Counter/Carbs/Protein/Etc/Reports: www.fitday.com (Free on-line, this is awesome!!) or some members use this one http://www.thedailyplate.com Anyway, congrats on going low carb, make sure you jump around the forums and make your presence known, we are very happy to have you with us!! Best of wishes! Life is good! Don't forget to stop by STAC!!

Welcome Brandy, I am with you too. I went down to 117 lbs now I am back up to over 150. This way of eating has always worked for me. Just keep on this board and remember to eat enough calories a day. Soon your appetite will diminish and you may not eat enough. Welcome aboard.....Dawn
