Hi Charlotte!

I noticed your post in this thread so thought I'd pop in and say welcome to our international ADBB family

You might get more responses if you post an introductory thread in the 'Spotlight, Introduce Yourself' forum as it is more visible than the user created forums where this thread is posted.

It is good to see another Brit on board. How are you doing so far?

Hi Charlotte
I see you found the spotlight forum

As to finding your way around ADBB, one quick way is to use the 'Forum Jump' box which is right at the bottom of most pages. Just click on the little arrow beside the box then scroll down or up to the forum you want to visit.

As to how much I have lost and in what timescale, I have lost around 125-130 pounds in total. It took me about 18 months to lose the first 100 pounds then another 18 months to get the rest off.

Re: new member

Probably the best forum to post a thread asking and offering support would be the 14 day Induction forum, as that is where most of the members who are starting Atkins tend to go to for advice and help.

Here is a link to it

Perhaps start a thread saying when you started induction (put the date in the title of the thread) and ask if anyone else started around the same time and wants to 'buddy up' with you for support and encouragement.
