    I finally made it back to Atkins'. (new on ADBB)

    Hi everyone. I introduced myself in Spotlight forum and have met a few of you. I can't begin to say how lucky I feel to have come across ADBB and now STAC, my new Internet home with you all who understand this journey so well. We are not alone after all. Thanks! Babs.

    PS Okay, I'm high too from losing 8.5 pounds so far, all with your help.

      Hiya!

      Welcome to the STAC part of the ADBB. Can I get you a glass of water?

      8.5 Pounds is a good start point. Looks like your also in some of the challenges. Which is COOL. I hope to follow you lose as much as you want. So pull up a treadmill and a glass I will bring the water.
      Mouse? I don't need no stinkin mouse!

          Welcome Babs,
          Glad you made it over here and want to call it home. There is a thread somewhere about roll call, it's a good one it tells you are names, and how we want to stay connected and even accountable...
          I can feel your excitement...we have a great group of regulars here...it will be fun to have you post...
          It's sunday very early morning, and i am up and still cheat free, day 41...hope to hear from you today.

              Thanks for the water Korelis, . It reminded me I needed to drink 2 more bottles of it.

              Jess, 41 cheat free days is fantastic. Congratulations. Thanks, I'll look for the roll call thread because I know what will if I don't stay connected and accountable.

                  Congratulations on the 8.5 pound loss. Make sure you take your measurements also, as that is a great motivator as you shed pounds to see the inches decreasing. I totally agree with you that the support here in the ADBB helps to know you are not fighting this battle alone. Keep it clean and do it the way that Dr. Atkins recommends and you'll continue to see great results~!

                              Thanks all! And Thanks Becky, Elsie and Shannon. I agree to keep it Atkins' way, and thanks for reminding me to take measurments...so I did it.

                                  Babs, sounds like you are having a great week...Big loss up front is so motivating! The longer you go, the better you feel, the stronger you are, and that's motivating too...and just to be off the merry-go-round that is so terrible in my life, is the biggest motivator of all...I am so thankful, grateful, blessed and at peace.
                                  Good luck today and all it's challenges.
