    Hello everyone!!

    Hello everyone!!!! I am new to this site and have really been encouraged by my brother Scooterjam to get on here and get support, suggestions, offer my help and to meet other people that are going through the same things I am.. I have watched and supported Scooter and I have seen what a great job he has done.. I am very proud of him.. He told me that this site and the people here have helped him so much..

    I have tried low carb dieting and it worked really well. Then I hit a plateau and couldn't beat it.. I let it get the best of me and gained about 45 pounds since then.

    I have 3 children that I love to play with. They like to do active things and I am just too out of shape to keep up with them. I also show horses and fall behind my barrel horse so bad that I am a hindrance to him..

    I have about 75 pounds to take off and I am rearing to go.

    I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi..

    Toni

        Welcome Jade! It's very cool that your brother opened the door to ADBB for you. We're glad to have you with us (both).

        You and Scooter will be able to support each other through the ups and downs. Usually, the ups outnumber the downs... it's just so great when you get to see your body morph and you actually feel your progress towards better health.

        Give us a holler if you need a hand. We all know what it's like and are happy to help.

                  Thank you all so much!!! It is so nice to be able to talk to everyone. I am on day 4 and still have to up the water intake by about 6x the ammount but I am staying strong...

                  Scooter is a great guy and an even better brother... He has done so well and that itself has encouraged me to try again. This time I will do it..

                  Thank you!!!
