    My Mother's Day Gift

    My Mother's Day gift to myself is to start today. I have been lurking the boards for a while now, testing this WOE, but have not committed. I am so happy to have found this board! I am so inspired by seeing the encouragement and success in all of these posts.

    I am starting on Mothers Day because I realized that I deserve to be one of the hot moms (or at least not the biggest) at the soccer field. I originally gained most of this weight with my daughter eight years ago. Then I had my son and gained more. I am actually at the same weight today as when I was 9 months pregnant with my son 3 years ago. AAARRRGGGHH!

    Wish me luck and I will see you around the boards!
    Michele

    Welcome to ADBB, Michele
    I am glad you have decided to start this woe and look forward to sharing your journey towards being the hottest mom on the field!!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



    Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

            Welcome Michele....one hot soccer mom coming up! Good for you for starting!
            Please post any questions, even if you think they're silly, and you're pretty much guaranteed an answer. Nice thing about this place is that you don't get any snotty answers, so ask away!
            Check out the 14-day Induction Forum for lots of support and check out the rest of the board too. Lots of information available.

                  Happy Mother's Day, Michelle!

                  Welcome aboard.

                  My weight is right up there with yours, and I say there's no place to go but down -- so let's do this together!

                  Started again: 10 November 2007!

                  No stats for two weeks.

                    my first post here. I've also been lurking. (I will make a thread in a bit) we've been having net issues.

                    I started this woe today too but I have done it once before. I will post about that in my thread when I make it. I am excited to do this again. The food is excellent. I think we ate better food today than we usually do. lol

                    I've been reading the boards for awhile and I'm in awe and very inspired by a lot of you. So I look forward to your knowledge.

                    Glad to have someone else starting this today.
