    Hi, Christa Here.....

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I am not new to Atkins, in fact, I started 2 years ago January 1 and have lost 110 pounds and maintained for over a year. I love Atkins and I love to talk to other people and support other people but I am big on figuring out what is wrong and fixing it, not on making excuses.

    Looking foward to meeting everyone here.

    An excuse is just a way to justify what we wanted to do anyway....so, what's your excuse?

          Welcome to the board Christa.

          I think it's OK to tick people off as long as you are doing it responsibly (as in truly trying to help them not just being malicious). =)

                Christa, welcome to ADBB!

                First off, amazing job on losing 110 pounds. That's quite an accomplishment.

                And I, for one, am a proponent of tough love. I hate wimpy excuses. A good kick in the pants is what I prefer--if I'm doing something wrong, I want to know about it!

                    hey Christa! Great going on keeping your weight off! Don't worry, you won't tick anyone off around here. This is the greatest support group ever! Come around often and post your thoughts. You could start yourself a journal in the Journal Chats too, for a daily dose of ADBB gabbing!
