After the feelings of abandonment this past week, I'm anxious to join this group! Lesson learned though. It caused me to explore further all of the wonderful tools we have here to help us succeed.

I Madi , otherwise known as madcreek , promise to stay on the forum for one full year in good times and in bad. I promise to keep working the low-carb lifestyle, even though I may run into a rough patch here and there. Should something happen in my life and I change my mind about all of this - I promise to come to the TDC and say goodbye (death precluding this) so the many people who have supported me know what became of me. Most of all, I promise to be genuine with myself and others, at all times.

I'll tell my sister to write ya'll if I can't be here due to my demise.

What a week it was!!! Thanks to all of you for being here! I felt like an orphan!
