    Hey Frank, welcome to the ADBB! You have definitely come to the right place. You'll find lots of support here. Make sure to come by the Century Club. It's for those of us with 100 or more pounds to lose. We have a roll call thread every day where we check in with each other. It's a great bunch of people, all with the same goal in mind. I look forward to seeing you around the board. Best of luck!

                Welcome to the family Frank. You have come to the right place. Make sure you check out the Century Club.

                What I know:
                1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                    Hi Frank:

                    I just started this past Monday and I have a good amount of weight to lose too. Isn't Atkins great? Chicken, eggs, hamburger, and veggies? I'm a happy man. It's encouraging to see so many people starting around my time. I hope we can all celebrate our success with Atkins together too.

                              Hey, Frank!!!
                              Mmmm...platanos! Are you puertorican?
                              You'll have great success on this diet. Just remember to eat your veggies and drink lots and lots and lots of water-->64 ounces+ 8 ounces for every 25 lbs you need to lose!
                              Don't forget to exercise, either.
                              Good luck
