Just thought I would introduce myself. I just joined yesterday, but couldn't post for some reason. I have been lurking around here for a couple of days now and I can finally post!

Been on Atkins since the end of June, lost 11 pounds and still holding. I'm trying not to get discouraged cause I realize that I only really need to lose another 11 pounds, but I would like to lose 17.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hi LuluBelle,
I haven't been here very long, either, but wow, have I gotten a TON of great information here! Lots of "insider" tips, problem solvers, food reviews, etc. This place is a great motivator. Good luck!

Aderyn: What plan are you following? I was interested in finding out more about the South Beach diet. Thought a little change may wake up the metabolism.

Hello to the two of you new members. I haven't been on it but about month. I did like you did. I kept reading and reading, so I thougt "what the heck" I might as well join in.

This is a great board to be on and so much informatio and help. There are some of the ones who have been for a long time that really do try to help and I am so thankful for them.

I started on July 27 and have only lost 5 lbs, but have taken some from my hips and waist. I would like to get down to 120!!!!!

Hope you learn a lot!

Hello, Lulubelle, glad you joined us.

I am just now starting to lose a "reasonable" (to my way of thinking) amount of weight. It seemed for months that I was just going up and down . I have also been on Adkins since June (been modified LC since April). I have loss about 13 pounds in that time. Are you mesuring? The inches seem to come off quicker. It is harder to lose the closer you are to goal too (that is what the people who have actually gotten to goal say).

Good luck!

Me three! I'm fresh out of lurkdom, too!

My SO and I started on Atkins about 4 weeks ago. I haven't got much to lose, but with family history of obesity, diabetes (type 2) and knowing my own hypoglycemic tendancies, I figured it was high time to get my carb consumption under control. I also wanted to support my sweetie as much as possible - he wants to lose about 50lbs.

So anyways, howdy all - see ya around!

...wishes come true, not free!

Hi Lu, Just remember that the closer you get to goal, the slower the weight loss, but you can and will do it! I envy you.. only 11 more pounds! Thats wonderful!

Me Four! I'm new here too... had been lurking for about a week and just registered tonight. I'd started Atkins in Oct. 2001, lost 15 pounds, then found out I was pregnant! So... now my son is 1 and I'm back to lose that weight!

Hey Sweetgal - we have almost identical stats! I envy you that you're at the 190 mark... my first major goal is to get to 189. Haven't seen that in years!

Welcome to all 4 of you! Lots of great people here. As you have probably figured out, the site took some massive hits after some publicity so our wonderful web-mistress is waving wands and conjuring spells to make it all better. Anyway, my point, lots of "newbies" aren't really so new, we are just in congito.

Enjoy yourselfs and stay around!

HANG IN THERE!!!

Post early, post often!
