Hello there everyone. I just registered and havent yet had a chance to browse the site. I will do so over the next few days. Anyway, my name is Robin and I live in Athens Georgia. Im from Atlanta Georgia. I came here by accident looking or some low carb. recipes and found you guys. You know this is really what I think will help me get through this really hard time of starting a diet is support. I havent dieted in 8 years. Then I lost 21 pounds. Now I need to lost almost half my weight. Im just excited about it right now. I know that it is going to be hard but I also know that once I start seeing results I will be pumped and motivated. I am a big time sweet eater. I love my sweets, and that will probably be the hardest thing. Next to that will be not drinking my Cokes. So any advice would be great. Thanks alot and hope to get to know you guys.
Happy New Year from Georgia!!!
Robin C.

Welcome, Robin! So nice to meet you!

You will be delighted with all this site offers, it's chockablock full of recipes, and good tips and problem-solvers.

If you get a chance, check out the Journal section, there are so many in-progress success stories, that I'm sure you will find tons of people you can relate to. Think about starting your own journal, it's a great idea to help yourself stay on track and hit goals.


I'm on atkins and soon to celebrate 2 years of following low carb. It's a grand way to live, that's for sure.

Hi!!

Good luck Robin. I think you will really like this site. I am a new member but a few months back when I was going strong on my LC WOE (Protein Power, which I re-started today) I loved to browse the forum. You can find lots of new ideas and you'll realize you're not alone.. I am a fellow sweet lover. Don't worry once you start losing and your insulin levels out you'll do great.

Hope your weather is okay - heard you guys were getting snow in GA but I really don't mind sharing Ohio's weather with anyone!

Hi Robin!
You have definitely found the right place for your new WOE! This site is so full of useful information, recipes, tips and most of all SUPPORT! I was a sugarholic too and this is the best way to get rid of that addiction. It's not easy at first, but once you make it through induction, it get's so much easier and you will feel wonderful. About the cokes, I was a diet coke addict for sure and now a couple sips and I don't even want it...tastes way too sweet. Drink that water and stick around for help. Start a journal in the Bootcamp section... I just finally started mine and it helps tremendously! Best wishes for a new you!
Hugs,
Carrie
