New Here - Long Time Low Carber
 

:wave:

I've been on Atkins for 11 months and have lost 30 pounds. A couple of months ago I left the newest version of Atkins (NANY) and returned to the original plan (DADR) where I find it works best for me.

Hi Blue, good to see you here.

Hi there. :-)

Good to see you too, Liz! It would be nice to create a thread where we can all gather again.

Yes, it would! I was off-line in a huff when the old brain cells remembered that this forum has an "introduce yourself" section...and you'll beat me to it :wave: :wave: :wave:

Hi Janet-- We miss you already.

Hmmm, what's with the little symbols under our names? First I had eggs, and now I've graduated to bacon? An appendix? A drumstick? Does anyone have the secret decoder ring? Can't wait to see what other foods I gather.

I find all of that rather strange as well. Okay, so who starts the thread and what do we call it? :help:

This is a V-Bulletin platform, another board i'm on uses the same provider. Helps to read the FAQs above, but the eggs and drumsticks are a post counting system unique to LCF. Maybe you get a full dinner when your count is high..I've seen lobster..yum!

Yes, the drumsticks and lobsters are unique to ALCF :). Just click on it to see what the point counts are :idea:

Welcome aboard :rose:


Doreen

Thank you, Doreen. Cute idea! I saw Peggy had two lobsters, so I'll be aiming for that meal. ;)

:lol: Hi Lois, Liz, Jey! I'm still an egg-head.

Well....Imagine seeing you here! ;)

Hey, everyone! Good to see all your familiar "faces" here!

I see Labby is back at the beach. Is this his retreat?

Thank you, Doreen, for the explanation. I want to be a buffalo when I grow up. And thanks for the welcome.

Hi folks, Janet, missed you and had to follow....

Yep, for the moment. And it is such a lovely day here, a beach trip seemed warrented.

I took a look at the different post markers. I want a buffalo, too! :D

Hi all! Thanks to Lois, I was able to follow you all over here. So I can lurk here as well. ;)

How does one edit their profile?

Hit the dropdown menu under "Quick links" in the green menu bar.

I'm going to start a thread for the old gang. Hopefully we can attract some new people as well. Need help with a title.

throwing out a couple of names for new thread:

NewER Net Carbs/Total Carbs
Recent Immigrants from A Distant Forum
Landed Immigrants from A Distant Forum

I don't think any are perfect, just trying to get the ball rolling. :wave:

I like the smileys better here.

Sorry Liz!! I think I missed you!

Check out the Lab Rats on a Quest.

Well HELLO, Blue! I almost never browse the new members area of this forum, but happened to do so today and was gob-smacked at the bail out over there. I don't think I need to ask what happened. I did peek in over there occasionally this past 8 months, only to see things hadn't changed.

I've been a member here for some two years now. This place is GREAT! Lots of incredibly well-informed and caring people from all walks of life with a wealth of experience at low-carbing. Lots of great research discussions in the research forums. Lively discussions in the Carb Wars forum, too, but always civil discussions, without snarky remarks.

Tweaking programs to meet an individual's needs is NOT frowned upon here. We do what we've gotta do to get to where we wanna be. :)

Again, a personal welcome to you.

Hello there Blue.

HI

:wave:


new around here.......
returning LCer.....haven't been LC in years, but life has necessitated it for me. Not my original choice, but seems to be the one that is working best for my body, so who am I to argue!!

If I'm not pressing on a sore spot, from which forum are all you folks coming?
