Newbie will now quit lurking in TDC and introduce herself

[ppuffy3859]

Hello! My name is Faith, and I am so happy to have found fellow low-carbers to share my journey with! I have done Atkins with great success before-my sister introduced me to it about ten years ago when I was desperate to drop some weight b/c I had a co-worker who insisted on calling me fattie everyday, and I wanted to lose the weight quick. And boy did I! Ha ha to her! Anyway, of course, through the years, getting married (don't ya just find that falling in love seems to go hand in hand with the carbfest? Especially when you're dating in San Francisco and have access to some awesome Italian food!) and having a baby, the weight came back and much more. I have lost a little over 100 pounds already since the birth of my child, but I've got a ways to go, and it's great to be in the company of those who know that sometimes facing the journey ahead can be somewhat overwhelming. I'm also a scale-o-holic, and I know I've got to ditch that habit. I was at 250.6 this morning (why did I get a digital scale so that I can torture myself with decimals??!!) and I haven't been in the 240's in a long time, so I'm "stoked" as we say in California. I will be patient and keep the course to reach my goal. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself, and say I'm here for you, and you seem like a great group. Let's rock this!!!

Welcome!

Ya, I cannot believe that co-worker. May all her bad attitude come up and bite her in her butt and may she never have another friend... grrr.

Welcome :) I tend to be a scale-aholic too, but I only use it to keep myself focused. It goes up a little and I just smile at it. I know, KNOW, its going to go down ;) Makes me work that much harder... :lol:

[ppuffy3859]

Thanks for the warm welcome all! I'm sure we'll be chatting soon!

Welcome to the group, Faith. I'm new around here too. We're going to have fun getting to our goals around here, I can tell! What a great group!

[HerbNurse]

Welcome Faith!! Congrats on your loss to date.

Be sure to get your journal started...it helps. I too am a scale-o-holic and can only go a few days without stepping on it but I think it keeps me focused. When I was heavier I never got on the scale and did it go up fast!!!

Hope to visit you often and celebrate your progress.
