Another Newbie

[LC Steph]

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie, and I have been LCing for 2 months. I have lost 18.5 pounds so far, and I have...well...quite a few to go. This is the first time that I really think I CAN get the weight off. I feel good, I love the food, and I can't wait to be able to comfortably ride roller coasters again!

So glad to have another newbie with me! :wave:

Oh that is one of my goals. When I get down to a smaller size, hubby and I are going to Cedar Point (I think if that's the one in Northern Ohio) and get on some coasters! It'll be so nice not to have to worry about chairs and seats on plans, movie theaters, restaurants. I can't count how many times I've been in a restaurant and had to quickly see which route I was less likely to get stuck between chairs on. We can do this together! I'm so glad I ran across this forum.

Hi Carla! I have actually been to Cedar Point! My husband (well, he was my boyfriend at the time) and I went there in 2000, and had a wonderful time. We're both roller coaster junkies, and I know that I weighed 232 when I could comfortably ride all the coasters, so 232 is my first "big" mini goal. When I get to 232, my husband promised me a trip to hit all the parks in Orlando. I can't wait!

Hi, Stephanie -- Welcome to the TDC! For me, low carbing has also been the first thing that has been able to get the weight off. Good luck with the roller coasters -- they terrify me, but I know there are quite a few other people on this forum for whom being able to get on a roller coaster is a goal.

Welcome! I have been on Atkins a month and this is the ONLY thing that I feel GOOD about (I have tried every diet out there, too). You will love this group of people.

Hi Stephanie and welcome,

So some more rollercoaster fans, great!!!, I also love rollercoasters, just back at the end of june from Alton Towers, England. I had a great time, but dispite loosing almost 50 lbs, I was just mm away from doing the restraint up on the most extreem rides and that was their bigger seats!! never mind the next time I go I will make it!! had a ball on all the other rollarcoasters and felt great about the weight loss.

Hope your dreams come true and have a great time!!!
