    New wanted to say hi

    Hi...
    Would just like to introduce myself.
    I have not really tried atkins, though I have been reading quite a while. I have lost some weight, not a lot.

    I guess what is motivating me at the moment is the realization that because of my weight I have been hiding, not wanting to go out, not wanting to be seen. It is really restricting my life and I would like to change that.

    I am also getting a bit older, 40, and I would like to have better health.

    I also used to be a reasonably attractive girl and today I saw a photo of myself OMG.

    Anyway, I hope to continue learning here and make some progress.

    Nice to meet all of you.

    Re: New wanted to say hi

    Hello Roise.... welcome! We're glad you decided to do Atkins along with us.
    I'm sure you'll soon be feeling much more like going out and about again, with a new trimmer figure and a higher energy level.
    The board is a wonderful place for friendship, support, inspiration.... and there's lots going on too. Challenges, journals, recipes, good low carb info. Have a roam around and see.

    How about joining the board wide No Scale Challenge which starts on the 21st. You weigh, then put the scale away for a couple of weeks, which is a help in averting that scale dependence that can happen right at the start (or at any other time really). If you're interested, the link is: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...1&page=1&pp=10

    Do keep us updated as to your progress. We're all interested and happy to help wherever we can.
    Before and after:






    PLEDGING FLIGHTS
    Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

    Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.

      Hi Rosie,

      I am new at this also and I am on day 4. I can totally relate to what your feelings are. I feel heavy and undesirable. I don't feel like socializing much. I am ready to take charge of my weight and health. I am also almost 40 and I promised myself after my last child #5, that I would be in the best shape of my life by the time I am 40. Childbearing is over and time to start taking care of me. So here I am and here we are doing it will support.
