    1st time posting ever.

    hi my name is matt and i'm about to turn 23. I'm here finally after telling my girlfriend I would sign up. I know I've been kinda lazy about it to be honest but I really want to be on here to support her and myself as we do the Atkins diet. So here I am, thanks to Liz (Lia the druid), I am probably doing one of the better things I could be doing for myself while changing my life. So thank you Liz for kicking me in the proverbial bum! Right now I weigh more than I ever have before. I am currently at 262.5! My goal weight is about 165, so I have quite the journey ahead of me. Thankfully I've got a wonderful girl to support me and help me out. She's even got me drinking tons of water!! We decided to go on the diet together and since day one she's been on here connecting with the rest of you. I think it's great that she's been so active and now wants me to be involved too. So I guess some of you will be seeing me around. have a great day.

        Matt! Nice to meet you.

        You and Lia are so lucky--you can share your successes, help each other through difficult times, and cook for each other! (I just can't even fathom how nice it must be to eat the same food as your significant other! Lucky bums...)

        So glad you started posting--I think you will find a lot of inspiration on this board...all that's left is that twin bro of yours...where the heck is he hiding?

            Hi Matt. I am new and my husband and I are doing this together too. It makes it so much easier...if it were not for him I would have quit after the first day.

            OK: real story. We are REALLY REALLY COMPETITIVE with each other at dumb things like bowling, ping pong, running, board games...you get it. There is NO WAY that he is going to beat me at this and look really good while I am still sitting here like a big fat slob. NO WAY!!!!

            I am really not crazy.....I just love to WIN!!!!!!!!!!

                      I was curious too . I assumed either Everquest, WoW or a similiar MMORPG, or maybe just good ol' D+D.
