    Hello Helen. My name is Misty. I am new too, second time around though. I have felt 100% better since starting this woe. I just rode 2 miles on my exercise bike and got it up to 50 + mph something I would have never been able to do before.

    I hope you find as much great info here as I have.

    I love that one. hehe

            Hi Helen! Welcome to the board. Yes, we use lots of acronyms around here, half the fun is figuring out what they mean! Here's a link to the list!

              Hi Helen! Welcome. I started this WOE (Way of Eating) at 49 ~ and it is the best thing I ever did for myself. I'd also failed at all other attempts to lose weight. This program really works and with the support and encouragement here in the ADBB, you'll enjoy the journey! Keep posting and let us help you celebrate the new you!

                  Welcome, Helen!
                  It sounds like we have a lot in common! I'm also 48, needed to lose 80 pounds when I started. So far, I've lost almost 35 pounds in 3 months. I haven't felt as well as I feel now in years. This WOE does work, you just have to stick with it and decide it's a forever way of life, not a temporary fix. Be sure to take your measurements. It helps a lot when the scales forget to move for a while. I've lost over 2 inches in my neck! Don't have near as many chins as when I started. Keep posting, and we'll be celebrating your successes in no time.
