Hello Hello

[divva]

Hello Everyone,

I'm Divva from Jersey...
I just recently joined and getting pretty excited after reading all the positive posts also seeing the huge support system here....which is the best thing you can have, others that understand and feel what your up against....because it's truly a challenge..
Anyhu! Glad to meet everyone...Looking forward to chatting and getting to know many of you....

I'm at a point of my life where I'm in between thoughts of having gastric bypass which I've started the process or go back to the atkins....I'm leaning more towards Atkins, because I've had so much success in the past....I can always stop the process of the surg....

In the beginning of my Atkins journey yrs back, I lost 120 pounds in less then a year.....My goodness I was on cloud nine....

I'm not good at the whole intro thingy, nonetheless.....looking forward to reading more, learning more, also sharing my two cents...

You know as I sit here I'm thinking to myself, we go thru this every year, (the new years resolution) and God know's I wish the best of health for myself as well everyone here....

I'm still young in my late 30's....(a young chicken) lol
With health issues, which is not fun....going to the drs, coming home with 5-6 prescriptions, that's ridiculous....

I'm in the travel, spa & romance business....own my very own company and hate to even travel as much now as I use to because of the shortness of breath....
I'm a very confident sista, and have always been....
I recite to myself all the time that my weight does not define who I am,
regardless of how I'm feeling....
I am a very strong, beautiful, intelligent, creative, driven woman,
happily married to an awesome & hard working man..no children however, a beautiful 3 month old niece with cheeks to die for and a very smart & handsome 6 yr old nephew, that I would love nothing more then to stick around and watch them grow up to become nothing but the best...

Ok, Ok, enough about me...again looking forward to chatting and meeting you all....

HAPPY NEW YEARS
PEACE & BLESSING TO ALL
HOPE ALL IS WELL

Hi Divva,

Welcome! Sounds like you know all about the ins and outs of Atkins, from your previous success with this way of eating. Good luck on this journey. May I suggest starting a journal? This is the best way for me to keep track of my success, progress, meals etc. I look forward to reading about your progress and success.
