  • Bidding my Farewell

    Well, no one bash me please. But I am switching to Weight Watchers. I wouldn't have felt right by just not posting anymore. Everyone here has been so supportive to me. This is the best group ever!!!!!!

    I've had my personal ups and downs that have effected by weight loss efforts. I know that Atkins works and works well. But for whatever reason, I'm finding it to be the most difficult and stressful thing in my life right now. I have been attempting weight loss since March 2005 and a member of ADBB since that time, but have not lost much weight (again, because of my own issues, not Atkins).

    I plan to stay relatively low carb, but not to the point of following Atkins.

    Thanks everyone for being so strong and supportive.

    We all have to find and work whatever works for us.

      I don't think anyone *should* bash you because of leaving. It's your own personal choice for whatever works for you. If Atkins is stressful and you think WW is better, go for it! I wish you all the luck in the world with your weightloss.

      Also, I think there are WW threads here. Up at the top of the page there's a search button. Try that and there are like 10 pages of WW. Maybe you could still use that!

      Good Luck & Best Wishes!

                  Sarah-- Please don't go altogether.

                  Instead switch your membership to our sister board, LowCarbBulletinBoard.com !

                  Losing you completely when you're my little pixie flower would make me blue, and I'm a moderator there as well, and would LOVE to keep tabs on your progress!

                  Love you!

                              At the very least, pm people! And as far as I'm concerned, you can post a thread now and then saying hi and how it's going for you......

                              I'm gonna miss you, darlin'! But I want you to have the best and most successful time, so go for it!
