    Re: November Newbies

    what does it mean to be a "supporting" member? If I had to guess, I'd say it was someone who is supporting other members... but isn't that what we are all doing?? So really, what is it "officially"??

    I was also a "cheater" when I did Atkins the last time and still managed to lose the weight. But maybe that "cheating" was the reason why I didn't stay on Atkins OWL once I reached my goal weight... I learned my lesson! I swear ! I learned it! (okay, maybe not so good - since I still cheated on Thanksgiving) I think the main contributor to me not staying on OWL was that I met my husband (who's mother is an italian woman who cooks GREAT!) and I began eating with him and his family quite often... mainly pasta! It was so good - and I liked him so much I didn't want to offend him or his family by turning down the food they offered. (and it was so good! did I say that already?)

    Okay, just one more thing... can anyone tell me about this Boot Camp thingy? What's involved? And once you decide to do it (and are accepted) do you get a more lengthy description of what exactly is expected of you?

    sorry to make this post so long! I'll sign off now!

    p.s. don't you just love it when people have conversations with themselves in their posts! I promise I'm not crazy! LOL

      Talking to yourself doesn't make you crazy. Look at Hamlet. He talked to himself and they made a play about him. Pretty cool how that worked out. We'll ignore the whole "everyone died in Act 5".

      We're all about the happy.

      A supporting member is someone who has either given an insane amount of time helping others or has donated some money to keep the board's operating costs under control.

      As for Boot camp, it is a 2- week committment to doing a clean induction. there are small teams comprised of Drill Sergeants with Drill Assistants who atre there to keep you on that task. The application can be found here. For more information about what boot camp entails, use the link in the application to contact Boot Camp Command.

      I hope this helps.

        thank you! It sure did help! I found the "boot camp" stuff on another forum, and I don't think I qualify because I'm so new. it said you had to have at least 10 posts, and although I am getting there, I'm not quite up to 10 yet!

        Give me another week or so and I'll be ready! I might even still be in the induction phase! LOL

          Re: November Newbies

          OK we need one more member to make 80 new members for NOV. I see we have a new member ALISONCOMESBACK who hasn't posted yet. Alison if your reading this just post a little "Hi guys, I'm Alison".
          Anyone else lurking out there, give me a RETIREMENT present and post something. I just need one more member to make it 80 and I would love to make it 85 but that might be pushing it.
