    Excited Newbie Here

    Hi everyone it's so nice to meet every-one. My name is Dee-Dee and i'm a yo-yo dieter. I've done WW, LA Weightloss, 4-day diet, soup diet, starvation diet, liquid diet, and recently I did 2 weeks on the rice diet. I did manage to get under 200lbs. So I was proud of that. But it just got to tiresom eating your food with NO flavor ewww. I started atkins last Friday(9/14/07) at 195.8lbs. and today 5 days later i'm 191.6lbs So i'm more than excited to continue on this WOE life. My goal is to reach 150lbs. or under. I'm a single mother of 2 wonderful teenage girls. It's so nice to meet everyone.
    P.S. Today has been kinda hard for me due to the fact that me and my kids are about to be evicted out of our home. Because my car broke down, and it's still broke down so I lost my job, and on top of that my childsupport didn't come through as planned. I thank GOD that I managed to control my emotional eating through this chaotic time. I didn't CHEAT at all. So i'm so proud of myself.

        Welcome to ADBB Dee Dee, it is nice to have you. i see you are just like me and have tried all diets known to mankind. Well, I can personally tell you that you picked the right place to come to lose those unwanted pounds. This way of eating is the only way. I have never been hungry one time.
        Sorry to hear you are having a run of bad luck. I have often found that when my days are rather crappy that coming here and posting and enjoying conversation with the other members makes me feel better. Hope to see you around lots dee dee, ttyl, brady

          Hiya dee dee! Welcome aboard!
          Like you, I've done tons of diets in my time... but Atkins is the only one I've ever been able to stick to (and I didn't start out believing I'd make this a way of life!). Here's hoping that it has the same effect on you.
          Sorry to hear about your troubles and hope that you have a safe haven to go to... and one that has a computer, so you can log on to the ADBB!

          Post lots and ask any questions you might have. We're here for you and happy to help where we can!

            Re: Excited Newbie Here

            Thanks Emma, Jace, Brady, and Sally. It's a peasure to meet all of you. I have a question. Today is day 6 and no weight change in the past 2 days, but a problem with constipation. I'm drinking plenty of water(70oz) and I only eat brocolli as my veg. I haven't cheated yet. So i'm trying to figure out what is going on. I put some ground flaxseed in my omelet yesterday morning and nothing and i'm still bloated with some gas. Sorry for being so drastic but I am wondering what can I do about this? Thxs 4 listening. Dee-Dee

                Flax is a good idea for constipation, but be sure to drink plenty when you eat it. Veggie-wise, spinach is what always gets me regular again, but I know we're all different.

                Don't stress the pause in weight loss. The scales can fluctuate wildly, dependent on so many things. More reliable are measurements. I strongly advise you take your measurements as often we can be losing inches before lbs.
