Hi there,

I started Atkins on 2/1/09 and just found this bulletin board today. I have a lot of weight to lose and I am in this for the long haul. I've been reading success stories on this website and they are so inspirational! I'm glad to be joining all of you.

Hello Adria -- welcome to ADBB! I'm glad you found us, because we've been waiting for you to join. This is a wonderful, friendly place to come when you've had a full day and just want to have a place that belongs to you! My family isn't on the plan with me so it's nice to come here and see that others are having the same successes or challenges I'm facing. It's also nice that there are so many people who have gone before us and are documenting their success so we know we can do it too.

Go to the forum section and check out the different groups to join, challenges there are and get involved. Don't forget to use FitDay or another of the sites out there to keep track of your food intake daily. Take your measurements now so if and when the scale stops moving you'll know that you're still losing, but now it's inches instead of pounds.

Again, welcome and enjoy your journey. This is exactly where you need to be right now!

Welcome Adria! I'm glad you found us and joined our family. You can do it and we can help, so ask questions, join some challenges and maybe start a journal. It's so much easier when you are with like-minded people!
