    hi precious and welcome to the board!

    i've only been on the board for a day, but you'll find that everyone is extremely supportive and generous! you'll find all the answers you need from recipes to stalls here. i've been glued to the screen since yesterday reading and lurking around...posting here and there.

    you should pat yourself on the back for taking the first steps in changing your life. it's not as hard as i thought it would be. just read the success stories, they're really inspiring.

    anyway, i hope you feel better and i look forward to reading your questions and future posts!

    take care sweetie, and again, welcome!

        Welcome, welcome its always so exciting to have new members. congrats on deciding to start atkins and on finding this board- as it has been a lifesaver to many. i hear you -on the stubborness thing- but believe me this is worth it( so go ahead and be stubborn- be stubborn and eat the atkins way and that stubbornness will be exactly what you need to sucseed)! also come check out the centry club- its for those of us that need/want to lose 100lbs or more, its a great forum as well.hope to see you around :wave

            Hi Precious! :wave I'm also a NEWBIE here. I was similar to you in the fact that when I first signed up I looked at all the before and after pictures and was completely stunned I cant wait to start dropping some pounds. Can you be my shoulder? Let me know when you start induction!
