New to the triple digits club.

I did an intro on the introduce yourself thread but thought I'd post here as well.

I won't make my intro here as detailed... left a very detailed one on the other thread and only got 2 responses. Oh well.

I am 5'9'' and around 225 currently. Just put on all this weight in the past five years. Ready to get it off. I don't really want to lose 100 pounds but I probably could and not really be underweight. So, I hope it's alright for me to join in this group even though I am only wanting to lose 65-70 pounds. More would be great but I am trying to be realistic. For now, my mini goal is just to get to 199. Something about being under 200 that would make me very happy even though it is still far from my ultimate goal.

I am fairly new to low carbing. I am really hoping I can do this. I have an eating disorder history (mia) and don't want to go that route. More about this in my post in the introduce yourself thread entitled, "New from Atlanta and a bit scared" if you are interested in reading.

Thanks. It seems like this is a good place for support and also for accountability, which is what I really need.

Welcome Saiyara! You're going to love it here. Very supportive and friendly people in the TDC. You'll do great! You stats say you're doing a general low carb program. Are you following your own kind of thing?

Welcome Saiyara,
This is a very supportive place and I am sure that you will find a great place to ask questions, get help when needed, vent (if needed), and find friends. So, don't be shy and post away!

Thanks, everyone, for the nice welcomes. I have really enjoyed reading posts all throughout this site but felt I needed to chose one place in which to post regularly. The TDC seems to be a great place.

I am not on any particular program. Just trying to LC it. We'll see how this goes. If I find that it isn't working for me, then perhaps I will choose a particular program such as Atkins in the coming weeks.

I think coming to this site is just what I need to help me stay focused.
