Hello friends,

I just started looking for an online LC forum and found my way here.
I put in a new journal page and am looking forward to getting to know many of you.
I am living abroad. Since moving to Turkey, I am having a difficult time staying motivated. Mostly I am working on language etc. I am a little overwhelmed and so am hoping to find some support and motivation here.
I started Atkins last Feb. To date I have lost 50lbs. However, in the last 2 months I am eating more local food and just maintaining. This weekend, I purposed to start back on induction. I really want to lose the other 50-60 lbs I have to go. I have been doing fine so far.
Nice to meet you all.

Welcome! This is a great place to be! Share some of the local recipes with us, ok? Tina

Welcome Spechele!

It looks like you're well on your way. It's great that while eating the local food, you just maintained instead of putting a bunch of it back on. It'll make it easier to get started again, not having to lose the same weight again.

This is a fantastic group of people, I'm sure you'll be happy with all the support you receive and the great words of encouragement and advice everyone has to offer.

Welcome again and keep up the great work!

Welcome to the TDC Spechele! You certainly found a great group of people here for support. And WOW, your results so far are great. 50 pounds is something to be very proud of! Keep up the good work and good luck with induction again. It will be over before you know it!

Hi Spechele: I am sort of new too. (about a week now) and I am learning a lot. It is a different way of cooking, shopping, and cooking. I love being able to go out to dinner and having a shrimp cocktail and steak for dinner. I have bought cook books, carb counters, and the book on my program. Can't seem to get enough information.
We are here for you and look forward to reading your posts.
