At a point where I must do something....

[JeffinNYC]

Hi...Jeff (49, 5'8")from New York City here at a whopping 247 lbs. Yeah It's gotten to a point where I must do something, not only for physical reasons but also health reasons...I've been reading Atkins books & everything sounds logical so I am gearing up to start.....I'm getting very excited about this...
2006 will be my year to do it!!
Happy New Year to all!

Welcome to the board. In my short time here I've found great support, knowledge and encouragment. I'm sure you'll find the same. I hope you find great success with this WOE like so many others here have found. I think you'll like it here a lot.


Good luck!

Hi Jeff! Welcome to Atkins and to ADBB!

Follow the book, exercise and drink your water and you'll be right on track!

Jeff - WELCOME. You've definitely come to the right place. It was almost two years ago that I reached that point in my life where I didn't know what to do. The best thing I did was find this site and meet others who understood and shared my vision of health and losing weight. You can do it. Read the book, drink water, exercise and soon you will be feeling like a new person. We're all here to support you.

Hi Jeff and welcome to ADBB! Good for you on getting the book and reading it!

Hope you get a chance to cruise the board and check out all of the forums and stickies/FAQ's!

I'm sure you'll find one or two (at least) that you'll want to visit often!

And, if you like to journal, come on down to the Journal Chats and Journal Stats in the Miscellaneous Forum!

See you around the board!

Hey Jeff,
Welcome! I see that we're in pretty much the same boat... 49 and needing to lose quite a bit. If you're like me, you decided that at 50 you were going to be different!!!

Well, I'm only on day number 5 of Induction, but it's going well so far! If I can do this, you can do it.

I think you'll find a ton of information (that's a lot for those of us wanting to lose!!) on this board, and a lot of support.

Wishing you much success in '06!

Hey there Jeff, Thanks for posting in my Journal.

About 6 months ago I was the biggest I have ever been and at a low in my life. Success on this WOE has really given me a boost!

I wish you good luck!
