Hi I'm Cassandra

[djluvsan]

My name is Cassandra. I'm from GA. I started Atkins for the first time about 3 years ago and lost about 20lbs. I felt it was to restrictive so I gave up. Now I realize I didnt fully commit like I should have.I have been back on this WOL for one month now and I have to say has really inspired me to stay focused. I truly view this as a new WOE now and not a diet. I feel terrific, I'm looking better already. My hubby has even joined and he is surprised by the how good he feels and is looking.I want to thank you all for the wonderful posts and words of encouragement you give.I look so forward to coming on everyday to see how everyone is doing and progressing.I will hesitantly be posting my before pictures soon. I feel if I do this I will be even more determined to post hopefully some awesome after pictures.Thank you all and please help keep me focused as I will try to do the same for you.

Hi Cassandra,

Welcome to ADBB! It is great to hear you have decided to make this a WOL

Congrats on having lost 15lbs already - that is great!

See you around the boards

Hi Cassandra! How great that your DH has joined you in eating Atkins style! Congrats on the 15 shopping pounds lost so far!

PS: my dog's name is dj!

Yay Cassandra on your losses so far! And welcome aboard. Good to have you posting here.

You're so right to see this as a way of life rather than a simple "diet". When you hit maintenance there'll be very little you actually have to take out of your diet completely: white (refined) flour and sugar. Not much at all, and there are great natural substitutes for those.

Post lots and let us know how you're getting along. We're behind you 100%.

Thank you everyone for your support, I already feel welcomed. I'm trying to get dear hubby to join .This is so supportive.I share with him everything I read though.

Tell DH if he feels weird posting here, there is a men's forum! It's a private forum so he would need access but I'm guessing they talk guy talk over there! As long as he's looking over your shoulder he will reap the benefits of the great support here!

My brother came by tonight and noticed hubby and I have lost weight. He wants to give it a try Monday. I gave him all info he would need for induction and I am going to encourage him to read the book. I love this WOL. I'll keep you posted on his progress

That always seems to be the way, doesn't it? You see someone who has done terrifically eating this way and it's just so inspiring you have to try it for yourself. I hope he will read the book, or at least spy on the goings on of the board.
