Am new to group. I have one week in and got on the scale today to find I've lost 8.2 pounds. I am excited and find this site very inspirational. Did not even consider cheating. I hope it continues to be this easy.

Hi Decrease... I started about a week ago, too... and I have similar starting and goal weights to you. I'm only down about 6 pounds but because I didn't have a scale until a couple days into my start, I don't know my exact start weight. That's okay though... I feel great and I'm going strong! This is not my first go at adopting this WOE. I've had great success with Atkins in the past, but didn't move through the stages properly and gained weight back. This time I'm determined!! You're right about this site - it is inspirational! By visiting everyday I find that it helps me to stay positive and focused on my goal. I hope you'll feel the same way, too!

Welcome to ADBB decrease, congrats on the 8+ pound loss. Good for you.
You have come to the right place to shed a few pounds. Be sure and drink plenty of water too. Enjoy the board and all it has to offer, I look forward to seeing you around and a lot less of you to boot.

Decrease,


You are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I started 3 days ago and will be glad to hit the one week mark. Do you find yourself no longer hungry? How is your energy and mood?
