Another Newbie

[sammy67]

I just started Atkins yesterday. I followed it in the past and it did wonders. However I never belonged to a forum. I am very excited to hear about everyone elses progress. I could also use some tips as to how to get that little ticker line on the bottom and to add pics, so I can get some feedback and encouragement.

I am 5'8 and weigh 167. I will be happy at 145 but would be ecstatic if I can get to 135.

Have a great weekend.

Hello Sammy,

Welcome to ADBB and back to the Atkins WOE. You can go to www.ticketfactory.com for a ticker. Post often and join some challenges. A great way to meet people and make new friends. I look forward to see your success here.

Re: Another Newbie

Thanks Sherri. I figured out how to add the ticker. But how do you get the pics on the bottom of your message. Also, it is my third day and I have a mild migraine and a little dizzy. Is this a sugar withdrawal?

Hello Sammy

Yes, you're detoxing from sugar. We call it Induction Flu here It will last anywhere from 24 - 72 hours. Just make sure you flush your system with lots and lots of water. Once your headache disappears you'll get a rush of energy and feel great.
When you Upload your pics to photo bucket then you can copy and paste them in your siggy by going to User CP on the top left of the page and then go to Edit Signature. You can paste them right into your signature there. You can also put your stats in your signature by going to Edit Signature too. I have the other Moderators upload my pics for me. I'm not really computer saavy when it comes to that. Hehe
Hope your Induction flu passes soon. Hang in there Sammy.
Sincerely, Sherri

Re: Another Newbie

Hi Sherri,
Thanks for the advice re the induction flu. I also think I have the pics figured out. I am posting pic of me in a bathing suit so I can remind myself why I am here. I swear it is killing me to do it, but I have to be honest about myself right.

Your weightloss is amazing. I just looked at your stats. Congrats!

TTYl, Sherri

Re: Another Newbie

Thanks Sherri, but I need to shed some of the Va Va and get a little more voom. I think one of my biggest problems is I need some muscle. My arms are flabby all around, so are my abs and the legs have some cellulite as you can see from the one swim suit pic. I need to incorporate some strength training and I have no excuse because I belong to an awesome gym that is open 24 hrs and is 40,000 sq. ft. so, no waiting for equipment. Now if I could get my behind up and there, that would be progress. Like I said, I posted it here so I can keep myself honest.
