Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself, as I just discovered this board. My name is Debbie and I started low carb dieting January 12, 2004. I have been on the Atkins Plan for nine weeks and have lost 25 lbs. I'm thrilled with it, and how it has elimanted my carb cravings. Also, I'm doing fairly well and feel better about myself these days.

Since, I have still have a long way to go to reach my goal, I thought a support system would definately be a lot better than continuing going it alone. Really I'm just trying to find a place where I won't be judged, yet supported and confronted when need be. Also, a place where I can ask questions and get feedback.

I just came across this website this morning, while looking for more information about low carb dieting. Looks like a nice place you have here!! I think this is a great idea to support each other! It is very helpful to read all the posts about people who have found success on low carb diets. So, I thought I'd come here for a few tips, hints, a little support and encouragement, and to just share how things are going for me and to see how things go for you all.

Thanks for listening and am looking forward to more pleasant reading, good advice, and just plain chat.

Debbie
