Thanks for the Invite...

[Quitstretchin']

Thought I'd drop on by, as I was invited about a week ago after posting in the main forum about my yet again bruised backside (after falling off that wagon!!) Want to say thank you...
I want my 2nd time around to be more sucessful. Coming to a forum where others have had similar experiences should help me do that!

Thanks again......

Stretch! I'm so glad to see you here, in STAC! Cleo and I were afraid that we'd scared you off the first time you came (see this thread from the afternoon of Hallowe'en: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=36853 ). I'm glad you decided to give the Second Time Around Club a Second Chance!!

You'll find that many of us in this forum have bruises, back there, as well. We DO understand. We also believe that we can all do this, and make it work, permanently, this time.

Again, I'm sincerely glad you're with us.

Quitstretching, girlllll so glad you came over, how are you doing now? How is that backside...we've all had our backsides kicked, either by others, or carbs or my our own selves... Girl, we are all about getting it together...We link arms here all the time, checking in daily, going back and forth with each other...encouraging exercise and water consumption...hooting and clapping when some one drops a few pounds...Right now we are doing a challenge til I don't know and I have the sticky...
So girl hang out here!!! So you can help me keep my facts straight when I welcome someone!!
See you soon!

Hey, I'm here...didn't scare me off...
Thanks ValidRouge, Chris, Cleo, Outback Jess.....
Somehow, Chris, I didn't see that Halloween post. I think I was hiding under the bed, trying to avoid the candy I was to going to pass out to the trick-or-treaters!

Naw, not really....

Actually, I made it through Halloween without a problem. I am not a real candy eater. I actually cleaned out the candy dish by my front door in prep for Halloween and I think that candy was from Valentines day (oooh!). Now BREAD........ohhhh, thats another story!!

As of right now, it has been a week. I "unofficially" weighed myself and it says -2 lbs. I wanted to wait until the complete 14 days, as I know that I lose slowly the 1st week of induction (and after falling off the wagon and starting again!)...but what the heck...I could tell my stomach wasn't poking out as much, so I just wanted some confirmation!

Still going strong!!!!!!!!! Drinking non-sweetened decaf Lipton Iced tea right now to fill me up before bedtime.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to the topics and the support here.

Hi and welcome Quitstretchin'. It looks like we have similar stats and start dates (or restart dates as it were ), always nice to see that. Hope things are going well for you!!! So far I'm doing great...waiting to weigh though.
