Hi! I started Atkins last May. I posted a few times on the forums with questions, and everyone was very helpful. At that time I weighed 180. My current weight is 142 and my goal is 130.

Over the time since I started, I've been guilty of "lurking" here. So, I just want to say thanks to everyone who posts here, because you've been a great source of inspiration for me, even though I haven't been posting myself. I'm still working on getting down to my final weight, but I'm not too worried about that. The losses have been slow at times but, because of reading about everyone else's journeys, it hasn't bothered me too much.

So thanks everyone, and I hope to be better about posting in the future! I've learned a lot since I started and I hope to be able to share some of that.

Wow, GREAT JOB garden bfly! Thank you so much for posting your success and inspiring others. I think it's wonderful that you found strength and motivation here to keep going. That is the way I feel too. Such a great group and I'm glad that you are apart of it, lurking or not. (((hugs)))

Liz, I'm glad we have been of help to you. And it's nice to see you come out of "lurkdom" and post here. We'd like to see you more often. You probably have a lot to contribute, now that you are a seasoned veteran of low carb.

I'm not so sure about seasoned veteran , but I'm trying! I think that being more active in the forums will help to keep me motivated to lose the rest of the weight... It's hard to stay focused some of the time. I recently hit a rough patch where I was "cheating" more than I should have been, and I gained back some weight. I've since lost most of it again, but it was a real wake up call to me, and a huge incentive to do things right!

A BIG congrats, Liz on 38 pounds down!!!! wOOt!!!

KOKO!!! (keep on keepin' on)
