Here I am!

[biggorilla]

Hey guys, whats happening. I started on Atkins the day after Thanksgiving and have lost 15lbs already. I dont know why I lost it so quick other then that I have alot of weight to loss and my body is happy with what I'm doing. I hate being fat and all that comes with it. I have great family that loves me and will help with this. But I myself can be the only one who can do this. I never want to go back to the way I was. Just the mind set of losing weight helps me in my daily life. My life has always been good and of course the ups and downs were there. My weight has limited me in the things I want to do. I have things I want to do before I leave this world. Anyway, I am here and I'm going to stay here because it really helps me talking to you and reading your threads.
Thanks
Big Gorilla

Hi, Big Gorilla

Holy cow! 15 pounds in 4 days?! I think that I need to be getting tips from you... that's incredible.

I'm glad that you enjoy the board. It has definitely helped me; so much great information and so many very nice people. Make sure that you explore everything here, and post often.

Keep up your great work!

We "wide bodies" tend to do a major drop at first.

Much of it has to do with the hygroscopic nature of salt and sugar. Both substances absorb water. Cut the carbs and you cut the sugar that holds water.

It's an astouding process.
