bigdaddy-nobucks is on a distinguished road
Talking Greetings all!

Hi, I am Bigdaddy-nobucks. I have been visiting this forum for around 6 months now and decided to join. I must say there have been many great bits of information posted. Atkins has been the easiest diet I have ever been on. I have eaten like a king and lost 95 pounds since last November. Only 55 pounds more and I will indeed be a shadow of my former self. I no longer have to look in sporting goods for size Tent.
Any questions I have had I have found answers for quickly on this site. I have had several converts to the low carb life, and everyone is enjoying the same kind of success. I have no reservations on my new lifestyle, and miss nothing from my past eating habits. The bread of life is a flatout carb smart wrap, and hold the doughnut. Thank you all, and best wishes!!
