Greetings everyone! Another new member here, making an introduction.

Whew! Information overload. I discovered this site yesterday, and I've been trying to absorb all the great information since.

I'd like to thank the owner/originator for making this wonderful resource.

About a year and a half ago, at about 230lbs I went on Atkins and everything was peachy. (er, make that low-carb peachy ). I got down to about 205, felt great, and fell into the trap of thinking that I could go back to my old way of eating. Oh, I started with 'healthy carbs' - whole grain bread, veggies, etc... but that quickly escalated to white bread, chips, candy, etc. etc. So, the weight came back (with friends!).

With this kind of forum, which I didn't know about before, I hope I can change my ways of thinking, and make this a life-long thing.

Well, that's it for tonight, I hope to be a somewhat regular presence here (long-time lurker habits).

Welcome, Brett. Many of us here have learned the same lesson -- you're in good company.

There is a lot of information on the site, and lots of support, too. I hope you've found the Journals section. Reading other Journals is a great way to get ideas, and starting one of your own will help keep you focused.

Good luck!

Welcome !!!

I have only been here a few days and already have received so much great info and support.

I think we have all been though the quiting and gaining the lost weight back, I know I have. This is the last time I am going to do it. I have been fighting with my weight my whole life and am not going to do it anymore. I also just started a journal (if you find the board titled journals you can post one of your own with your daily menu's etc) this way everyone can help you out easier.

Take care

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

I am definately going to do a journal, when I can make some time... Trying not to spend too much time here from work... one of my other bad habits

Brett.
