Shannon,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It means so much to me to have this forum for support. Even with all the new information that is coming out every day in support of low carb eating, I still get a raised eyebrow from folks when I tell them I'm doing Atkins. I just tell 'em now - please read the book!

Anyway, I took your advice and checked out the Triple Digits Club and have already committed myself to the one year club. I figure it's better to jump in all at once rather than just getting my feet wet!

I have to tell you I can already tell the difference in my clothes and my rings. It's a wonderful feeling and I am doing a lot of smiling lately.

Having over 100 pounds to lose is somewhat mind-boggling (even hard to type it..), but I am heartened by all the wonderful success stories of those who post here.

Thanks again for the welcome and I'm sure I'll "see" you on TDC!
