What's going on? I've run across this board a few times...though I've been a bit intimidated by how LARGE and ACTIVE it is!! :dazzle:

I'm excited about becoming a member here...I currently spend much of my day posting on AtkinsBytheBook.com...but I want even MORE online Atkins buddies!!!

About 4 years ago, I got to my heaviest weight of 254.5 pounds, and read the greatest book ever---the Atkins book! I dropped around 40 pounds, and decided to just deal w/ being pleasantly overweight for a few more years.....

Well, last year, I decided I was sick of not being HOT! I wanted to look as good as I felt, and I wanted to wear all the cute clothes that I love!!! So, I finally got my stuff together and started losing again! I was over 200 lbs for too long, and by Thanksgiving I was 185...

Then I had a holiday binge!! :nono: I got back up to 205....blah!

So, here I am in 2004. I've been seriously losing weight, and now I'm at 171! That's the lowest I've been in over 10 years! I have 30 more pounds to lose before I'm at goal. I can't WAIT!!!!!

I really look forward to helping others here, and getting advice from all you brilliant low-carbers! Talk to you all soon!!! :sunny:

Hey Beth..Welcome..
How exciting for you..I too am amazed at my wieght loss.I used to give up on diet before I even started them because I thought I would have to give up so much to even enjoy life..I really love eating eggs and sausage..I do miss the biscuit only because it's convenient to eat it all together, but I'm adjusting..
So I'm excited for you and wish you all the luck in the world..

Hey Beth, when I found this forum (I post at another as well), I was a bit intimidated as well. I have been on for less than a week and I really like how active it is and how many different people, posts and ideas there are!!!

Congrats on all the weight you have lost, I am a bit in your boat, although I never made 200lbs, almost and said "Holy Shizzles, I need to stop eating so bad"...and here I am...I've lost 28 or so pounds since January...can't say for sure because I didn't get a scale untill 3 or 4 weeks into the diet!

Good Luck!
