I all! I am a newbie on this site. I've been a member for a long time but this is my first post. Glad to find the site and a section dedicated to those on Maintenance!

Look forward to getting to know you all.

Howdy and welcome. What dramatic before and afters! You're looking great.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey. Unless that's hokey (I'm nosey but I hate being put on the spot)

Well basically I have been overweight most of my life, like many people here. My dad died in 2003 and part of his problem was really bad diabetes. Shortly after his death my mom was diagnosed as borderline diabetes. I knew I was next. I guess something really HAPPENS when you lose a parent- it is life changing. So that is what made it CLICK for me. Some people I knew pointed me toward Atkins and I joined some lc forums. And ever since, I have been in AWE of what eating this way has done for my body. I am here for life, and just looking for a place to share. This site is MASSIVE with lots of fun things to dig into!

Everyone, Alliecat0817 is DA BOMB. What she has accomplished over the past couple of years is astonishing. She and I are friends and have been for a long time ... I can tell you she is DEAD SET on this as a way of life. She has encouraged and inspired me from day one that we met. Her before and after photos speak for themselves.

ALLIE, GIRL, YOU ARE MY HERO.

:love
