Talking Hello Everyone!



I have been lurking here for a month now, gathering information, inspiration and just a grasp of the overall community and I must say I am so impressed and encouraged!

I finally decided to join in on the board and share my story as it progresses!

I started this wonderful lifestyle Dec. 16th 2008 and I have to say as hard as I imagined leaving my sweet and pasta tooth behind it really hasn't been too bad! I even made it through Christmas time with dozens of cookies being baked and served! That alone let me know I really do have all the motive I need to get healthy.

Jan 6th makes 3 full weeks for me however the pesky monthly visitor has struck so I won't be weighing until next week for my updated progress!

I feel the need to say yet again that this diet is amazing! I feel like I am getting spoiled honestly! I had tried the 6 week body makeover 2 years ago and though I was able to stick to it for around 8 weeks it was the most miserable thing I have ever experienced, I hated eating food with zero flavor and it was so awful that at times I would just prefer to go to bed without dinner. Well never again!

I look forward to sharing this journey with everyone!

Default Re: Hello Everyone!

Welcome!!! I'm Carole. Like you I lurked a few days before I made the decision to join in. The people here are beyond amazing when it comes to encouragement and friendship. Anything you need you can ask and someone will step up for you! I've never seen this type of camaradrie anywhere else on the web.

Have you noticed how Weight Watcher, Jenny Craig, etc come out with "new" diets each year....that's because they know they don't work so they keep messing with their eating plan. Dr. Atkins got it right the 1st time! If you haven' read the book yet, do so -- I just finished it yesterday but had a good handle on the basics from reading and looking for answers before I started.

I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you around!!

Thank you for the warm welcome! I do have the book and I am reading it steadily!

I neglected some general details in my post: I am 24 years old, unmarried and no kiddos.

I will be posting progress pictures next tuesday in the Pic's area!

Default Re: Hello Everyone!

Thank you so much! Alright, I will be posting my progress pics next week once I take them but for now this is what I have to work with. I really had to dig for these pictures because I tend to delete ones that aren't flattering immediately! These are my before face and body shots. I didn't have any full body ones in regular clothes! This is from halloween last year. I am usually photogenic..but alas these are terrible.

Hey Newfoundme.... I just joined the boards too and like you started Atkins before Christmas (although must have less will power than you as I fell off the wagon over Christmas and am now redoing my induction!) I am so pleased with the results so far... I know we can do this!!
