Dear LC Friends,
I just want to thank you all for being here when you weren't aware that I was here, yes, lurking for months, but soaking up all kinds of wisdom! I have been on Atkins since 6/4/2003 and visiting this board at least twice daily since then. I have had a few cheats but not for long when I realized how much this WOL is critical to my happiness and weight. Tonight my husband decided to start Atkins too, and I am just so amazed at how this once seeming diet "fad" has taken America by storm and surprise, even after all these years. In any case, I am happy to be out in the open now and part of this wonderful forum. Hopefully, I can give back a little of what has been given to me in the last few months.

Hi LCMermaid

Good for you for joining in, as you I lurked around for a little while also, before joining in, and have no regrets. Probably the best thing I could have done. It keeps me focused and accountable. I also started a journal and a gym log, so I will be able to look back and see my entire journey. (Good idea, btw, to start a journal)

Good luck and Best Wishes

Hi, and welcome! You've been LCing for longer than I have so I'll be looking forward to your wisdom.

Welcome LC Mermaid! I love this forum and get lots and lots of great advice here. Keep coming back and post often and I know you will be successful

Atkins may have "taken America by storm " but it will be interesting to see if this time it sticks! I hope so, I love all the low carb foods that are now coming out. Make this lifestyle a lot easier!

Welcome to the Conversations Lc Mermaid... the more people here to support each other the better....
I am very happy that you DH decided to join you on your WOL... that is excellent... I am still waiting for the day that my BF decides to jump on the LC Wagon... until then... I have all my buddies on here to be supportive...

Hope that i can offer help whenever you need it...

Good luck!

Welcome! This is my "second home", I visit several times some days, and usually at least twice... any time I feel like giving up, it's a click away, and much more constructive than eBay or hearts!!!

LCMermaid,
Welcome to the forum. This is the first forum I ever participated in, and all I can say is that I have found and met wonderful people taking the same "road" and goingnto the same "destination" than I. I have been day by day encouraged and supported. You have made a great choice joining us.

Hope to hear from you soon. Take care, and good luck!

Hi Lcmermaid!

Glad you decided to de-lurk and join in!

I too have been lurking around here too
I quess trying to catch up and to learn
I did Atkins 25 years ago when I was young(260 to 158)
unfortunitely I just wanted to lose weight and never did
do the maintence. So here I am again after a Heart Attack trying to make up lost ground.
Wish this group and the Internet was around back then

Anyway Hello All
