Hi everyone!

[Nanarama]

Well, I've been hanging out here in the shadows for a while. I did pop out in a couple peoples' journals the other day, but figured I should go ahead and do it right and say hi to everyone!

Hi, everyone!!

I have a similar story to lots of folks here with having prior success doing this ... although never really did it 100% percent. And then, of course, you stop.

This time my hubby and I have been on a tear since the beginning of June. And, truly, it just feels really different this time ... for both of us!! So I would really love to start posting and getting involved here. It feels very exciting -- and freeing -- to actually be posting something. I hope I can be a support to people too!

Will be looking forward to getting to know everybody!!

Nancy

Hi Nancy and welcome to ADBB!

That's great that you and your DH are on Atkins together, it makes it so much more fun! How have you two done since June?

Re: Hi everyone!

Welcome Nancy. So glad you quit lurking and decided to introduce yourself. There are many forums, challenges and motivational stories that will help you and your husband as you begin your new life-style. Best wishes.... Post often!!

Re: Hi everyone!

Welcome, Nancy! So glad to hear you and your husband are feeling in the groove. I've only been following Atkins for about 3 weeks, and after a lifetime of struggling with my weight, I feel like this time, for some reason, truly IS different!

Please do get involved and post often. It's a great group of folks here -- a true community that supports one another.

Keep us updated on your progress!

Take care,
Adena

Re: Hi everyone!

Thank you all.

Yes, it does help so much that DH is doing with me. And we have no kids so I don't have to worry about keeping other food in.

And to answer your question, Sheshy, we have both lost just about 30 pounds each. Unfortunately, there's still a lot more to go ... but, hey, I'm thrilled about it right now. He's not into the exercise part, but I'm basically doing 6 days a week -- averaging an hour each time. <sweat/pant/sweat> And loving that too!!!

I do hope to be posting a lot. Since I've been here in the shadows for so long, I know there's a whole lot of really cool stuff that goes on here. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to find me a challenge!!!

Thanks again!

HI NANARAMA ITS GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COMING TO THE BOARD WITH A PASSION FOR INSPIRING. I TRULY HOPE THAT I CAN HELP OTHERS ALSO. GLAD YOUR DH IS IN ON IT TOO. WE MUST TALK SOMETIME SO THAT I CAN GET MOTIVATED TO DO SOME OF THAT PANT SWEATING STUFF.

Re: Hi everyone!

Thanks, Thinner! We'll get moving and grooving and sweating together!!
