I ran across this site while looking for LC foods. I'm going to love being here everyday I am in desperate need of losing weight (yet again!) I hope this all works well for me. I started a journal, everyone is welcome to drop me a line there also.

I have a long and hard road ahead of me With help from everyone here, I hope to finally succeed. It's been along time since I've seen "me" when I look in the mirror. The real me was never over 120 pounds. Now I am 2 of "me"

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I intend to help anyone out that may need it. I always have time to talk and listen, especially in regards to weight loss. I need help with meals (LC recipes and menu plans) That is my biggest downfall. I am a person that needs a "plan" then I feel I HAVE to do it. If I don't have a plan, I dont have a direction to go and I get lost.

Thanks,

Hi Swt_T

Welcome to this forum and I am sure that with all the advice here and the support and motivation of the members you will soon be loosing weight and getting back to half of you.

Just one question? What plan are you following? I recommend that you read the first link to the right "Which low carb plan is right for me". Then select a plan, get the book, read it and then get on with it. Whilst you can do it on a wing and a prayer, each of the plans is slightly different and it is worth understanding the background to this way of life as well as how to go about it.

Good for you on starting a journal. I am sure that you will have lots of visitors and if you go journal visiting then they will probably drop back into yours.

Every success.

Thanks Ann,

I decided to go on the Atkins. I already have the book, my boyfriend said he had it when I mentioned to him that I wanted to start this plan.


Thanks for the encouragement also, Lord knows I need all I can get

Welcome to the forum!

I think you’ll find this to be a wonderfully supportive community. I know it’s a lifeline for me…check out my before & after pix in the Success section! Lost 20 more since then.

Have fun navigating around the site. You’ll find things well organized and links to a wealth of information.

Good luck to you! YOU CAN DO IT!

Donald

Thanks Donald!

All I can say is WOWZERS !!! I took a peek at your B&A pics, Dang, You go!

That alone is enough to inspire me and encourage me to finally get ALL the weight off.

I need to get a picture of me now so that when the time comes, I too can show a B&A pic. That too should keep me motivated to conquer my goal. I have pics now, but NEVER full body! only waist up

I have been navigating all over these forums. Looking at recipes, and alot more. Getting all the idea I possibly can. The more info I get the better off I feel and the more I am determined to do this!

Also quick question -- I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to put a pic up under your name. I see that you, Donald, have one. Anyone can answer this for me, Please I went to FAQ section and I only found the list of icons to be used, but not an explanation on how to put it on.

Thanks to all ---
