Used to be a lurker.

[LastStraw]

I belong in this form! Last year I lost 54 lbs and felt so good and looked pretty good too. Today is my first day of induction again. It is difficult but I am taking it by the hour. Last time I did this I lurked on boards, but this time I want to participate. I think the support will help. I am ready to go!!!!

Re: Used to be a lurker.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! No more lurking for you! Lurkers are simply posters who aren't yet ready to post, and now that you've posted, you're STUCK HERE.

Hour by hour is a good way to start. As I'm sure you know, the first few days are the most difficult, but if you can get a clean 3 days under your belt, you should be in the groove.

Be sure to participate in any of our activities, such as the Tape Measure challenge (new measurements will be taken in a week and every 2 weeks thereafter) and the water challenge. We also, as i'm sure you've seen, do check-in threads daily and if you don't post, we send my attack siamese cats after you and that is a really scary, scary thing, believe me.

LastStraw, I was a lurker last year too but this time I am active on the forum and it is helping me enormously. These guys are great for support and help when you need it. I am also from Washington state. Howdy neighbor!

I've been a lurker for the last three weeks. I got back on track today and when I found ADBB last night I knew that the support here would really help

Re: Used to be a lurker.

Thank you all for your welcoming support. I made it through day one and I am almost finished with day two. I won't lie and say it is easy but wanting to succeed is stronger then the cravings at this point. I am still taking it hour by hour. I am reading posts from others like crazy. It helps! So again thanks for your replies. I hope you are all having a sucessful day.

Re: Used to be a lurker.

Good job! Yes, the craving and temptation is difficult. SO powerful. But of course you know that the more times you resist, the stronger you become....gotta get some HISTORY under your belt!

Hang in there!
