Smile Hello Everyone!

Hey there everyone! My name is Heidi and I am so excited to have found this group! I discovered the "Atkins" approach 9 years ago and took off 84 lbs and kept it off for two years ........ then through a series of events including a divorce, a new marriage,infertility issues, ect............ slowly lost my focus and gained all of it back. So here I am .......... back on track and ready to make this work once again. I have forgotten a lot or a lot has changed since I "did Atkins" before. And I know it's not something you do it's something you live and so thats where I'm at. I started this journey June 1st so I am 11 weeks into it and so far down 27.5 lbs with 54 to go to my goal. I look forward to learning lots of new information from you all and getting to know some awesome people along the way!

Is there a certain place to get started here????? Let me know where I belong

Thanks so much

Heidi G

Hi Heidi!!!

Your in exactly the place that you should be....ADBB! yay!

Great job on the 27lbs so far, thats really great progress! Just stick to the plan and you'll be at y our goal weight before you know it. Good luck & start posting! You can go into the Journal chats forum and start one of those, mostly everyone here has one just so you can check in with 'yourself' and say whats going on. Its a great place here! So many helpful people and everyone is here for the same reason so it just makes it a great little e-community!

Your on your way!

Hi Heidi! Welcome. This is exactly where you belong! Great intro. You are right, this is a lifestyle, not a diet. You've done it before you can do it again!

Go read around the induction forum and the FAQ's to reaquaint yourself with the rules!

Welcome Heidi! You're in the absolute right place for support and inspiration. Congrats on your loss so far... awesome!

Roam around the board some, make pals, join challenges, start a journal if you feel like it... all very motivating.

Happy losing!
