    My name is Jason and I started Atkins 2/23/07

    I'm new to the boards, so this is my first post. I just wanted to let everyone know who I am. I'm really happy to have found these boards. I'm sure reading everyone's success and troubles will help me make it to my goal weight.

    I'm 5'11 and before I started Atkins I weighed 293. I'm not positive what I weigh now, I just know it's a little less.

    What finally gave me the motivation to step up and do Atkins, was a bet me and a couple buddies at work have. We're doing our own "Biggest Loser" $1500.00 pot, who ever loses the most weight in 3 months wins.

    I'm excited, because I believe I'm going to win. Especially with the help from all of you.

    EDIT: Crazyfinx just joined, he is also in on the bet.

        Welcome aboard. Grizzly knows this works. No, I'm not a success story to some yet but, every day, every pound I lose makes me my own success story. Set your mini goals, achieve them and move on to the next. If you fail, don't have a pity party, jump back on the diet and start again.

        ONce again, welcome to the board.

        P.S. you will meet some wonderful caring people just like yourself.

            Definately plan on changing my whole life style as far as eating. It's going to be hard, but I can still eat the foods I like, so I'm really happy about that.

            I hope to be an Atkins lifer.

                              Great to have another man here (no offense ladies!). Like you I started Atkins after joining a "Biggest Loser" challenge (though our pot was only $500). It can be a challenge but by following the guidelines in the book and all the great information you can get here on ADBB you have an excellent chance of winning the competition.

                              Welcome and good luck.
