Introducing myself....

[vegasman]

I'm so happy to have found this section of the forums.

After browsing through the others and seeing alot of people trying to lose 10-20 pounds I was beginning to grow concerned that maybe this wasn't the right place for me.

I started Atkins Induction Monday July 21st at the weight of 320 pounds and am now teetering between 315 and 310 and my goal is to get to 155 as I am only 5'6".

I'm a webmaster, I do web designs and I live in what seems like the buffet capital of the world...Las Vegas.

OMG the temptations are everywhere.

However one good thing, I know where you can get 16oz t-bones for $4.95, or 20oz porterhouse steaks for only $5.95 :P

So there are some places I loved before Atkins that I can continue to enjoy.

Sorry for the long first post, didn't want to make it a journal entry...LOL

But good luck everyone and look forward to chatting with you.

Welcome. The Triple Digits Club is great -- it is so hard to find other people trying to lose over 100 pounds and all of us here are, so we know what everyone else is going through and can provide support. Steaks for $4.95 and $5.95 sound great! Around here, you can't even get a decent steak for that price in the grocery store.

Welcome to our club! You will find lots of information, support and opinions on LCing.

My DW and I still hit the buffets once in awhile. If you know the foods you can have and the foods to stray away from, buffets can be great. The variety can be fantastic!

The steak prices sound fantastic. Our timeshare club has a new complex in Vegas. Maybe have to check it out ..... this winter.

Anyway, good luck with your new WOL.

Cheers!

Thanks everyone for all the wishes.

RE: the steaks. If you ever come to Vegas and want the good deals on food you can't eat at the strip casinos.

The best deals are at the smaller casinos that cater to the locals.

Poker palace is the one that has the T-Bone for $4.95 it's in North Las Vegas and about 5 minutes from me, the porterhouse *can't remember the casino's name but could drive there blindfolded due to the smell...LOL* is in Henderson and a bit further.

Welcome. I have been doing this for three weeks today and it's great. There is great support here.

Welcome! It is nice to have you with us. :yay:

Isn't it nice to find a place where we can more easily relate to the health issues of larger low carbers?

I know those folks trying to lose 10 lbs. have their struggle, but that's the kind of weight that can fluctuate for me in one day!

So Welcome to the TDC, Vegasman! We're glad to have your company.

Hey Vegas, I'm pretty new in here myself, and you and I have a pretty common goal. I've found so much information on here, and I'm sure that you will too. Happy Low Carbing!
