    Lurker turned Member

    Hello, all! I have lurked for about a year now and finally decided to join. I did atkins induction a year ago and lost 15 lbs. I recently had back surgery and quit smoking and have put on a ton of weight. Everyone here is so encouraging. I feel that coming here will help me lose my goal of 50 lbs.

    thanks,

        Applejax, hello! Glad you decided to post... nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about your back surgery... I know to my cost what a bad back can do to ones activity level, and hence weight!

        I'm sure you'll get all the encouragement you need here at ADBB. Why not join one of the exercise challenges that would not be too hard on your back? Keeping moving is vital to this plan and it's nice to do things 'together'.

        Good luck on your journey to better health and a trimmer figure!
