    Introducing...

    Hello everyone!

    I'm new to this board, but I'm not new to the low-carb lifestyle. I started Atkins in June, 2004. From that time to June, 2006 I lost a total of 112 lbs. toward my goal of losing 160 lbs. We moved from Missouri to Texas in July, 2006 and I continued the low-carb lifestyle but focused more on maintenance than continued weight-loss. I'm ready to lose the remaining 50 or so lbs. that I need to lose, so I decided to join this board to help me move forward.

    Being able to maintain for a whole year has been a great accomplishment for me, so I'm very encouraged that I can keep this weight off for good. I've been a regular exerciser for the last 3 years. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start a program to get into running with a goal to run my first 5K on October 6.

    I'm 51, a wife and mother to two daughters (ages 7 and 11) and a full-time CPA.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better!

    Re: Introducing...

    Marilyn... thanks so much for this inspiring first post! Welcome!

    I think it's fantastic that you lost on Atkins originally, then went on to maintain for a whole year. Congrats on not regaining in that time. Now you're all set to lose those last extra lbs and I'm sure you'll be really successful.

    Good for you for exercising regularly too. Exercise is really important and your intentions to get into running and your October goal are laudable.

    I'm sure your post will inspire many new members... and hopefully ADBB will inspire you too as you progress towards goal.

    Post lots and keep us updated. We're with ya!
