Today Begins Day One

[TirtleBaby]

Today is the very first day of the Induction Phase! Am I horrified? YES! I stepped on the scale, to see the #'s 2,5 & 1 all together in that order! So today it begins. Oh gosh does it ever begin! I cant think that way though, or I will never make it! I know a lot is attitude! I can do this! I have started it before, just never completed it! Well now is the time! I want to be 125 ish! Maybe 130! How does that sound for someone who is a short 5 feet 4 inches tall, medium boned? I need to go to work now! This board will be my new best friend! LOL. Hey? How do I get the ticker factory thing on my posts? I dont know how to do it! I have my stugg all picked out. I just dont know how to do it! Thanks!

You can find a ticker at www.tickerfactory.com. Follow the weight loss link and it's really simple.

Welcome to the ADBB. You'll love it here. My induction actually ends tomorrow and I've had the best time on it. I've dropped a load of weight and met some really awesome people.

You can do it and with the TON of support you can find right here, you'll be successful.

Happy low carbing! ^.^

Re: Today Begins Day One

Once you have made your ticker you need to post it into your signature block as an image.

The easiest way I think is to first make a note of the url of your ticker - starting http and ending .png - or just highlight it and click 'copy'.

Then at the top of any ADBB pages click on the link 'User CP' then on the link 'Edit signature'

you will be taken to your signature block where you can add anything you want to appear at the bottom of each post including your ticker.

to make the ticker show as a graphic you have to post the URL as an image.
To do this click on the little icon of a mountain and sun just above the signature block and another little dialogue box will open and invite you to paste or type in that url.

Make sure you click on 'Preview signature' to check it has worked, then if all is fine click on 'Save signature'

Hope this helps

Good luck on Day 1. Just remember when you make it through the first 2 weeks, you have made it through the hardest part of the diet. Commit yourself to doing it right, and you will see results.

Re: Today Begins Day One

Yey for day one!! Congrats on your loss!! It's so much fun watching the weight come off. I'll have to admit I delighted in watching the needle on the scale inch its way down.

Just BE CAREFUL that you don't hang up all of your hopes and dreams on the scale. It a good gauge of where you are, but it's not your self worth. If you notice that the scale is stuck, don't freak out. Post your menu so that anything you're eating that might be stalling you can be pointed out.

Keep at it!! You can do it!
