I'm sure all of you are very nice turtles, but I really, really didn't want to be a member of the turtle club !!

Three week's of induction and still I'm at a whopping total of ZERO pounds lost and ZERO inches lost!! Three cheers for me and my loyal fat cells; they must love me, they're quite attached.

I have cut out all aspartame, caffeine, low-carb candy bars (I only had two at the beginning days), Atkins meal replacement shakes, sugars, flours... and on and on, but I cannot seem to break through the one-pound lost barrier yet. Who'd have guessed that losing one measly pound would be an insurmountable hurdle?

Anyway, although I arrived here kicking and screaming and protesting, I promise to become one of your most positive and optimistic members.

Thanks for making a home for another poor turtle. Do we get a free T-shirt?
