Hi, new here!

[ashbrrb]

I have been lurking sinse Monday 1/28. I thought it was time to introduce myself! My name is Anne Marie. Several years ago I went on the atkins diet with pretty good results. I lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I was almost at goal weight and unfortunately started hi-carbing again! It took me almost a year to gain all my weight back but gained even more. I weighed Friday 25th. and weighed 154. (alot of weight for 4 ft 11 in frame) I had never weighed that much!! Aside from feeling really bad (health wise) I just wanted to cry every time I looked in the mirror! I resolved to do this woe for life this time!! I started diet Monday 1/28. Yesterday and today was horrible for me! I was so sick of eggs and meat!! I went tonight and bought a new scale because I statrted this thing scaleless and really needed the motivation to keep going!
I LOST 9 LBS!!! The bad cravings went away for some reason after that. LOL.
My only concern is that maybe im losing too much!! Any input would really be appreciated. This forum is wonderful!! Without it I dont think I would be doing near as well. Thanks again you guys for all the encouragement in your posts. Im looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Hey Anne Marie! Nine pounds is freakin' sweet - and you are right - the best motivator is success, and being successful is motivation to stay motivated.
One might wonder? Could I use the word motivated even one more time in this post?
I think not! XD
