OMG! When I clicked into this thread, I had no idea that I was the one being honored!!

Wow... this truly is an honor. My first thought is - I feel humbled by this because, really, it is all of you who have shaped me into who I am now. I had tried the Atkins WOE before and while I lost 60 pounds the first time, I did not have this board to rely upon. I did not have the support of friends on the same journey I am taveling... I did not have the wealth of information available to us here... I did not have the accountablility of belonging somewhere. It was easy for me to lose my way, and I did. When I joined this board in July of 1996, I had been floundering for almost 2 years. I had even resorted to trying NutriSystem and was actively doing that program when I joined here. I wanted to give NutriSystem my best try, but deep down I hated it and I continued to lurk on and off on this board. Finally, I reached a point where not only was I not losing on NutriSystem, I was gaining because it was impossible to stick to. I quit it after only 2 months and just ate what I wanted the rest of the year and into the new year. Finally, in late February of this year I came to my senses and found my way back "home". I want to be living proof that the "one golden shot" theory is a bunch of crap and that there is hope the second time around. (Or third, or fourth, etc.) It's just a matter of commiting yourself and doing Atkins the way it is supposed to be done. And this board is the reason why I have faith that this time is the real deal.

On this solemn day of rememberance for the victims of 9/11, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you here. I truly am blessed to belong to this community.

Jimmie, you have been a very special part of my journey. Thank you very much for considering me as Member of the Day.

Love you all!

Oops! Yep, huge typo.

If I could type, I would be dangerous.

That's 2006, not 1996.
