Hey my name is Elizabeth and today is my first day! YAY!!! And I'm totally excited. I've always had a bad yo-yo weight problem... and I'm only 20. A lot of it has to do with the verbal, mental and emotional abuse that I've taken from my father throughout the years... but I'm sure you wanted to know that. I'm here for me. I want to change who I am. Scratch that. I want to change what I look like. I'm tired of being dissapointed when I look in the mirror and I know I'm the only one that can make the change happen. My boyfriend Matt, his twin brother and I all started together. Matt loves me and inspires me no matter what and him deciding to do this was the big kicker for me. Nothing better than a couple who diets together! What a support team!!! Anyway, I'm real excited to be here, and even more excited to meet you all! Have a great day!

Re: Hey Y'all!
That is so fabulous that you have a support system like that! Not only will it be easier to stay motivated, it'll be easier to cook.
You're worth it, and you can do it. Pick up a copy of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002) if you haven't already--it will help you understand the science of the diet, what each of the phases mean, etc. Also, this BB has GREAT information posted in each of the forums...so check the place out.
One more thing...if you're wondering what to cook, check out Linda's site. She has FABULOUS recipes! The ones denoted with an asterisk (*) are Induction-legal.
Best of success to all three of you!START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170
