Hello to everybody :)

[CatelynL]

Allow me to introduce myself...(**takes a bow**)
My name is Cate and I've been overweight since I was born. **sighs**
Nineteen years ago, a 3 months premature, yet 14 lbs and 23 inches long, baby was born. (myself)
Now, I'm 5'9" and 230 lbs. (wishing i was 140) I resemble a piece of toast, minus the thin part. Square and white...very square and very white.
I love chocolate, particularly my Belgian truffles, and coffee bars, and swiss milk, and dark Godiva......**sighs deeply and wipes tear from eye**
But, sadly, I'd love to be thin more than I love my chocolate!
Its finally time to put an end to the madness. I know I can do this but I'm gonna need help!!!!!!!!! :yikes
So there you have it...a peice of toast... a peice of toast that wishes she was a slim-jim.
APPLAUSE......................

You made the right choice beginning Atkin's. We all have one thing in common. We are all carb addicts. That's what this Lifestyle is all about. Stopping the cravings and taking control of our life.
You can do this. Together, this board and DANDR can save you!!!

Drop in at the 14 day induction thread. You will be amazed how much info and support is there to help you through the first couple of weeks.

Welcome to the ADBB. This is the best place to get the support and encouragement to get healthy and lose the weight. The people here are all making it happen for themselves and encouraging others to do it too.

My advice is to read the book....Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, edition 2002. Take your supplements, drink lots of water and exercise. If you do it as Dr. Atkins recommended...then you will lose the weight and feel fantastic.

When you have questions, make sure you check in the FAQ section at the top of the page or post your questions so others can help you. When you need inspiration, go to the Loser's Lounge in the main Atkins forum and the before/after section. The stories there will give you the boost you need to become successful.

I look forward to hearing of your success!! Best Wishes!!
