Hello

[sfyd31]

Hi,

My name is Josh Keith. I've been addicted to carbs for a while. However, because of athletics and age, it never really showed up. HOwever, now I'm 25 years old and its caught up with a vengance. I was just eating all the time and all of it was garbage. I just recently got married, and although my wife has never been disparaging in the least, I was tired of the weight gain. I could not even keep it constant. It just kept going up. At 266 I decided enough was enough and have decided to end my addiction. Atkins has been the starting point of that battle. That was about three weeks ago. I can tell a difference already. Not only is my waist shrinking and the lbs dropping, my appetitite is remarkably dwindling. I am excited about everything I've seen. My goal is to get down to 195 (ish) and get back into sports and fit and athletic again. So far it is going well. I weigh 247 as of today, and I'm hoping that the trend continues.

It is great to have everyone's support. I look forward to learning more about all of you and sharing my journey with you.

In Him,
Josh

Re: Hello

Welcome to the board, Josh! And congrats on the weight you've lost so far! Good job!

You have a great attitude and getting back into sports is the best thing you can do for yourself, so you should have no problems getting down to the weight you want to be!

Remember to drink lots of water and check out the Food Forum for some great recipe ideas so you don't get bored. (Pizza Quiche is a favorite of mine)!

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
