  • Hi! Looking for a little assistance...

    Thanks so much!!

    Hi Mercedes,

    I'm new myself and so just recently had to figure this out.

    First you need a photo hosting site like photobucket.com. If you have that and have a picture you want to put in your profile then click on "User CP" and the top of the page and select Edit Signature. Post your link there, it should look something like: [*IMG]http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/jettinjulie/330to292.jpg[*/IMG] (without the asterisks) hit preview to see if it looks right and if so then hit save signature and you are done.

    You can also go to the "before and after pics" forum and post it, or another picture you want to share, there.

    Good luck and happy eating!

        Hey mercedes! Welcome to the board. I see you have a picture up so I assume you've figured it out! It takes a while to get the hang of the board, but it will come to you easily.

          Thought I would introduce myself now that I have had some help figuring some of this stuff out!!

          I have never done Atkins before but have done modified versions of no or low carb diets, as well as Bernstein, Weight Watchers, South Beach, and lots of other home diets. I think anything will work IF you can stick with it, and you have to find the way of eating that is right for you. This is it!! I am tired of being big, and tired of it controlling my entire life. I am tired of people being shocked at what fun I am, or shocked that I have energy, or shocked that I am pretty, etc, etc. It is as though people expect me to be unhappy and miserable and ugly and slouchy and grumpy and shy just because I am big.

          So, I am excited about joining this group and am happy to see that everyone shares recipes and support and advice.

          I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I am a teacher. I have been married since July 2005.

          Great to meet everyone and good luck!

            There's nothing wrong with being unhappy and miserable and grumpy. :P

            Welcome to the board!! What are you doing for exercise? Did you check out the challenges?? There are so many good ones, like the Jan mileage one, or 6 WEC. Also, come join us in the journal chats forum and start your own journal so we can all hijack it and stuff.
