    New Girl Here

    Hi all.
    My name is Lisa and I am new to Atkins. I have had a few friends who have lost weight on Atkins, so I KNOW it works. Not to mention the amazing stories I have read here. I have to say for the first time in a long time I feel like there is hope. I am a stress eater and a scale whore (can I say that ?? ) I tend to get discouraged easy and in the past that has always been my down fall. I am 27 and don't want to look back at my life later on down the road and feel like I've let it pass me by. Being overweight sucks. Not only do I feel bad about my appearance, I feel like some people treat me differently.

    I am starting Atkins today 03/12/08, and have A LOT to loose but I am very excited to start a new journey in life. With that said I will be here often and look forward to being able to share my success as well as read and see the success of my fellow atkineers

            Hey LisaMarie, Welcome to the ADBB! You have definitely come to the right place. You will find so much support and encouragement on this board. You said you have "alot" to lose. If you have 100 or more pounds to lose stop by the Century Club. We check in with each other every day in our roll call thread. We'd love for you to join us there. Good luck on your first day today. I look forward to seeing you around the board.

                          Email Me When You Feel Down. I Remain Cheat Free Only Because I Am Obsessive-compulsive When I Try To Lose Weight. My Former Bulimia Forces Me To Be That Way. I Have Found That While I Do Atkins I Don't Get Those Old Urges That Were So Damaging To My Metabolism And Digestive Tract. Don't get Discouraged! It Works, Just Sometimes Slower Than We Want.
