Hello!
Your new pant outfit sounds cute! I'm finding things in my closet that have been hung up for years that are now fitting...very encouraging! We all have hope for this new year. Losing weight has been such a trouble for me in the past. But now I feel like I have the solution and the drive. I truly thank God for my Aunt who shared her book with me. I think if I hadn't seen it in print, I wouldn't have believed it. Well, have a wonderful New Year! God bless, Victoria

Hi Victoria, WOW your doing great!! keep up the wonderful job. Im sure you will reach your goals in the coming year Have a wonderful New Year!!!

Hi Goddess,
What a great idea to have a special outfit as a target!
I've read a couple of your replies around the boards and you sound a very friendly and encouraging person....and that what we are all about. Encourage others when we are feeling strong and going well...ask for help when we are feeling weak and falling off the LC wagon.
I've found that this low-carb site has been a life-line since I found it a few months ago.
Hope to get to know you better through the forum and various threads.
see ya

Hi all

I'm new to this site, posted my first message last night. I found the site purely by accident and am so glad I did. It is really inspirational to read all of the messages. There are so many people out there doing the same thing and succeeding, and I am confident that I too will succeed following the Atkins program.

What is even more important to me is to be able to talk to other people who have a lot of weight to lose. I have yo-yo dieted for so many years but have never truly been able to talk to anyone about it.

I look forward to meeting heaps of new friends and being there for each other through thick to thin....

Hi Marion13,
Welcome to the Forum. It is a great place, so much to read, lots of places to contribute and so much support!
I hope you enjoy it. I am finding it a life line myself. So many understanding, supporting people just a few keystrokes away!!

Just in case no-one has already suggested it to you, try starting a journal. It is an excellent way to focus your eating and I find it makes me more accountable. I love getting ideas, suggestions and support and I love reading other people's journals for the same!
see ya around the forum
