Re: Who Welcomed You Upon Your Arrival At The ADBB?
Brook welcomed me along with Christie (this is oh so very long ago!!). But, without seeing Brook's pictures and her guidance/patience (and persistance to join the exercise challenge) I would be where I am today. I dare say she dragged me kicking/screaming and made me realize just how important exercise is. Now, excuse me while I run, pm her and ask her NOT to tell a thing!Bren

Re: Who Welcomed You Upon Your Arrival At The ADBB?
Irish was the first to welcome me. Her words struck a spark in my heart and I knew without a doubt that I'd finally connected with a plan that would work for me. I don't know that I would have joined if I hadn't been made to feel so welcome. I was also welcomed by Bren and PapaJack. All of their statistics and true belief in the program gave me the determination to make it happen for me also. I am forever grateful to each of them!!Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F

Re: Who Welcomed You Upon Your Arrival At The ADBB?
Wow. I'm so impressed with all of you. I lost 27 pounds and slowly did what a lot of people do, ate more carbs and gained it back. I've given in to emotions, sickness, lonliness, isolation, you name it and I've used it for excuses to just sit and eat those sweets in the evening. My will power is nil, and yet all of you are doing so great. It can be done, I just need to find a support person and get with the program, again and forever. Thanks for your comments. I'm back.

Re: Who Welcomed You Upon Your Arrival At The ADBB?
Just 5 short weeks ago and 7.5 lbs later I remember Sheshy from STAC and then fluffyman (just love that name) finally, 2big who has given me so much information and incouragement. It was the first day i found this forum that I made up my mind to hop back on the wagon and finish what I started 2years ago.
Everyone has been so helpful and friendly. I just LOVE all the challenges and support I have found here. I wish I had found it 2 years ago when I first started atkins and I may have finished losing everything I wanted to.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ANSWERED MY STUPID QUESIONS!!!
