  • Hi Everyone!

    Happy New Year everyone! My name is Madeline and I am so happy to have found this website. I decided to go on Atkins because I know that carbs are my biggest problem and that they are what keep me heavy. What really opened my eyes and made me decide that I have to do something NOW is that I went to the beach for New Years Eve with a group of friends (4 couples) and when I saw the pictures yesterday I sat and cried! I knew I was heavy, but COME ON!!!! I know this has happened to many of you before....the whole shocking photo scene. Usually I can escape photos, so I never have to see myself in them, but this time, one of my best friends was determined to document our trip. Again, I sat and CRIED when I saw myself. The funny thing is, I thought I looked pretty good New Years Eve!!! LOL!!!! Anyway, thanks for listening and I hope to get to know some of you through this forum. I know I need the support and hope i can be of help to someone, too. Oh, and forgive my signature....I am working on it!

    Hi Madeline! Welcome to the ADBB. I "met" you over at the C25K Challenge.

    Madeline, if you stick to eating healthy, exercising and drinking your water -- next time you see a photo of yourself, you are going to be amazed at the difference!

    I look forward to getting to know you!
