    Brand Spanking New

    Hello everyone!

    I am brand new to this site and after browsing around the before and after pictures forum last night and seeing all the incredible progress everyone is making and all of the wonderful support you all are receiving, thought that this could really be what i need to kind of kick start me AND keep me going.

    So here i am! but i have no idea how to put a main picture up of myself or put in all my stats and goals and such...can anyone help me out with that? itd be greatly appreciated! do you create like your own page on here or anything? i cant seem to figure it out, but i see on peoples posts that they have their own pictures and stats and goals always attached to their post, so i was wondering how i could do that...

    For the record anyway, and just to introduce myself and get things going, my name is Erin, i am 21 years old and live in las vegas, i am 5'6 and 184 lbs, hoping to eventually get down to about 120, or really anywhere between 120 and 130 would be fantastic!....i started the atkins diet about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and cheated a couple of times tho not terribly, i thought id be losing weight alot faster but iv only lost 10 lbs so far (i started this at 194) i really havent been working out yet though so that might be why, i just started working out a couple of days ago so we'll see if that helps my progress any....i just get so frustrated cuz my friend just lost 20 lbs in 2 and a half weeks on this diet, even with cheating every now and then and hasnt worked out at all, and for me it just doesnt seem to come off like that! ggrrr!

    But anyway...Thanks for listening to me ramble and thanks in advance for any and all help i may receive! hope to be hearing from you all and posting more again soon!

      Thank you so much for the support!

      still cant figure out how to set it up so that my picture and stats are attached to my posts, but i did use your link to tickerfactory and made myself a little weight chart, so thanks for that help!

          Welcome Erin! Glad you decided to post here on ADBB. As you see, it's a good place to come to for support and inspiration.

          It's hard if you compare to others who lose faster... some people just seem to have faster metabolisms... on the other hand, maybe your friend has more to lose, in which case it would be normal for her/him to lose more than you in the same time span. If your friend is a man, they usually lose quite a bit faster than women... unfair but true!
          Try to think "direction" rather than "speed".

          Post lots and let us know about your progress. We're with you all the way.
          Before and after:

            Hiya and welcome, I am a very slow loser but can see progress and know that if I stick with this woe I will get where I want to. It just takes time. Be sure to measure because not all progress is pounds.
