  • There's no place like home!

    Not to sound like Dorothy, but it's the truth!

    I found myself at a bit of loose ends earlier this afternoon. I do admit that I pretty much stick to just a few forums at ADBB (STAC being my favorite -- by far. Such a nice group of folks hang out here!). Anyway, there were very few new posts in "my" forums, and I soon found myself entering joke after joke into a thread that Rich had started in the men's forum. I soon realized, though, that what I really wanted was to do something related to our WOE and weightloss. So, I did a google search for Atkins and Low Carb forums.

    Well, I wound up visiting several, and it just ain't the same, folks. In general the people seemed dull, and often the advice was simply wrong -- and when it was right it was humorless. (No Cleos anywhere!!) I read one thread where someone asked about using carb blockers. (If anyone here doesn't know, you WILL lose with carb blockers -- but just your money, nothing else!) Several folks replied that they had never tried them but thought they might be a good idea. NO ONE advised him to save his money! Another guy asked if it was all right to use the "diet pills" that came with his Herbalife stuff. He never even said what was in the darn things, but, again, no one who replied even bothered to ask.

    I didn't register at any of the sites I visited, so I couldn't post. I did find myself screaming at the computer screen every few minutes, however.

    We all admit that we appreciate ADBB -- its members, its mods, and the admins. However, if you want to REALLY appreciate it, just check out some other places from time to time!

    There's no place like home; there's no place like home!

    I don't go to the other forums. There were a few that I visited when I first started Atkins, but I didn't connect with the people and didn't feel that they were sincere. This is the only place that I feel the warmth and sincerity and like I'm not among strangers. All of you here are like family. Even if I don't talk to everyone everyday, I still think about you and smile when I read your posts.

      I'm a member at a few different boards just because I like to see what's happening in the low-carb world. I think each board has something truly wonderful to offer; still, none are ADBB!

      I'm so thankful for an Atkins-only board with a great amount of personality, support and good advice.

        Hmm, in my searches today I missed that. Maybe I should be fair and give some of them a second chance! Still, it's hard to believe that any place could beat out "home!"

                It's simple. This IS home! I agree. I am registered at a few others that I randomly check out but there are no others that make me feel as welcome or as supported as I do here. ADBB is special and STAC is "da bomb"!
