Hi Fellow low carbers,

I stumbled across this wonderful forum and have been lurking for a good month or so.

Here's my story...
I started Atkins dec 2007 at 255 and went strong till june. Lost 53 lbs and fell off the wagon Gained 23 lbs back! I got my self together January of this year and have been going strong again and refuse to fall of that wagon again.
I ran into a stall for 3 weeks then lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks YAY! then came TOM and gained 3 back.
And here I am today not giving up and moving forward.. I try to work out anywhere from 5 to 6 days a week mostly cardio right now once I get closer to goal ill start with my weights again. (I was using weight when I stalled im afraid its one of many reasons why I stalled)

I can't wait to get to know you all. From lurking I feel that I already know alot of you.

Welcome from a fellow Michigander! Don't beat yourself up about falling off the wagon. You are back & doing great & you have found a great support group.

Good luck on your journey!

Welcome! It's nice to meet you!

Ty ladies, Snowgirl I have family up in Newberry is that anywhere close to you? How's the weather its been SOOOO nice here till yesterday but im not gonna complain cuz we have been high then average.

Migrl71, Newberry is actually where I live! We just moved there permanently in March. Very different experience in the UP, as pretty much everything up there is a small town. What I tell people is, the closest WalMart is over an hour away...now THAT'S rural, LOL!

Hi all I started low carb last week and lost a pound. 30 carbs a day. I was hoping for more but i will take it. Maybe i am doing it wrong . need some tips for all of you.

Welcome and Good Luck!

Welcome and goodluck.

30 carbs a day in the beginning doesn't sound like Atkins. Perhaps you could start a thread and let everyone know what you are eating and we can help you.

Welcome!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Hello fellow Michigander. Welcome and best of luck.....

Hi from PA and welcome to the boards!!

Yeah snowgirl Newberry is how do I say BORING! but very peaceful. Its been awhile since Ive been up that way but it is beautiful. Family up there owns a logging company.

Hiya Candy, yay another michgander! wow what can we say we have long winters..lol

Hi omama, welcome If your doing inducation you might wanna drop it to 20 carbs a do but 1 lbs is wonderful!

:WAVES: Hi everyone Im so glad I found you all!

Also from Michigan! And, that Walmart that's over an hour away from Newberry, I know it well. My parents are yoopers, they go to Newberry every Friday for fish dinner at the Elks.

I live in the lower penn, so they call me a "troll" - one who lives below the bridge. I get up there whenever I can - maybe over Memorial Day if I get the chance.

I'm back on South Beach after struggling with life for a year. I need to lose weight before I get into nursing clinicals so I can do it without ruining my feet, hips, back, legs, etc.

nice to meet all of you

Ya, I can't tell you how many times I've been called a trol for living under the brige. but ey, lol
