hi all! i have been a member since june but haven't been able to post until now for some wierd reason.

i love atkins. i've lost 40lbs so far and am on my way to losing the last 30. i took a hiatus for a few months and just maintained my weight, but now that i'm so close i can't weight

anyway, i've been reading this board for almost six months and now i can actually talk to you guys. i'm pretty excited. oh, and i also have thyroid condition and have lost weight with it, so if anyone needs advice or support, i've read TONS of material on the thyroid(i don't know EVERYTHING, of course, but i'm so glad to help out when i can, just to pass information on...and so many of the people on the board have unknowingly supporting me--just by reading it--that i'm MORE than happy to return the favor.) anyway, best of luck and i hope what ya'll call the 'woosh fairy' will come and visit you soon...
