So I am not sure how this works in here I ahve been lc for almost a month now THIS TIME!!!

[Leora99]

Hi, TraceyLynn, welcome! I am a newbie, too! This is my first time trying low carb actually! Boy I can't get over how good I feel - so much energy, no more mood swings wanting to sleep all the time etc. I actually feel healthy for the first time in my life! I hope to lose weight, too, with this approach, but even if all I get is this good feeling, that's moer than enough!

Hope to see more posts from you!

Love, Leora

Hi TraceyLynn

Great to see you over here :D

As for how to join???? you just did :)

:D Fee :D

[TraceyLynn]

Thank you very much...at least I did something right today...LOL

I have so much more energy..some times to much that I cant sleep at night but oh well I can deal with that because I spend late night on the computer...

I cant wait to get to know you all alittle better...

I just tried to use the PM...and it would not let me is there a trick to this???

[FionaC]

Hi again

The private message thing only kicks in after you had posted a certain number of messages - I think it might be 20 or so ... then you can use the PM icon .....

Hows that journal coming along btw????? :D

:D Fee :D

[TraceyLynn]

I have not started the journal yet :(

But I will get to that today I just dont know where to start and what do you write in there everything???

[FionaC]

Thats not a hassle, you go to the Journal section on the main page "My low carb journal/Low carb bootcamp" is the title, click on the alphabet link that your name fits in (as your user name will determine where your journal lives, so yours would be "Journals T to Z" then click new thread, whatever you name this post will become the name of your Journal, the just begin typing whatever you want.

Each time you want to add to your journal you just open yours up and hit "reply" not "new thread" as that makes multiple journals and the moderators have to come by and clean it all up :D......

Oh and when you have opened your journal, it takes about 24 hrs to then get the little journal icon on the bottom of your posts...

I'm looking forward to reading your journal when it is up and running.... btw your colour choices for posting don't seem to be working, I am still seeing just the html code in your posts :confused: but I don't know what you can do to fix that...

:D Fiona :D

Hi traceylynn and welcome!

I write my weight for the day, my feelings about my WOE, my exercise and all of the food I eat every day. Then wonderful people will come and read it and make helpful suggestions or offer support-It is really wonderful waht happens in this forum, I'm glad you are here!

Hi TraceyLynn,

Welcome. :wave: I am glad you found the Triple Digits Club. I started with almost 200 pounds to lose and I know how overwhelming it can be to face such a large number. This way of eating does work -- I've lost weight faster and easier than I ever thought possible.

As far as what to write in your journal -- whatever you want. Some people post their daily menus. My daily menus tend to be monotonous -- lots of salads, protein, etc. -- so I don't post them too often. I like to post my weight regularly so that when I get discouraged I can go back and calculate how much weight I lost in the last month. I also post whatever is going through my head -- usually related to low carb but sometimes I start drifting fairly far away.

If you want to read anyone's journal, click on the journal icon under one of their posts.

Hi there(AGIAN)

You have found a wonderful place on the internet to talk to people who know what you are going through and will freely offer their experience and support.

Hey, I'm a TracyLynn too :) (no e for me)

Hey Tracy. :D You will feel better and better each day you stick to the low carbs. I have never known a time in my life when I thought "I HAVE to eat?" It used to be. . .I want to eat! But now I have to make myself eat. I am not thinking about it, imagining it, planning it. It is something I have to 'remember' to do. Cause I will forget. :rolleyes: 21.5 lbs as of today. I can't believe it is working! :D My exercising is probably more shocking than the weight loss. . .but I have been doing that since Sept/Oct 2002. Atkins since Jan. Isn't it fun! WOOHOO!!! redawn:)
