Hi there,

I am about to start the Dr.Atkin's low carb introductory in the morning and I am looking for some buddies so we can lose weight together.

I currently weigh 241 lbs. I am 27 years old and 5'7.

I have faith in myself and Dr.Atkin

I also have msn messenger.

Thanks in advance

Hi Lisa

Are you still looking for a Buddy, It looks like we have similar goals and are similar size. I am very new to this board so still trying to figure out how it works. Ijust started Atkins today but I think having a buddy would be very helpful and keep us on track.

Hi Lis & js!

I think your mini goal of 220 would be a good place to start.

LET'S GOOOO

Hi ya'll I'm with ya. I just started last week. Doing O.K. just getting frustrated with breakfast and snack ideas. But hanging in there. MaddieB1

Oh yeah, something a friend of mine said (who by the way went from 300 lbs to 130 on low carb ), "I don't care what I look like today, I don't care what I look like tomorrow, I care what I look like a year from now" And let me tell you, that helps. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror and see my fat after I have been working out and eating good for awhile and look the same, it reminds me it's not going to happen immediately or even 2 mo from now, but by this time next year I will have an entirely new body. Hope that helps.

Hi JS, htc and madd

I am still looking for buddies, I think it would be great to have the support! Right now I need it.....
I cheated bought some chocolate

Well I don't know if you have msn messenger or not but if you do my name on there is LisaAndSean7 at hotmail dot com. I am doing it that way so that I don't get bombarded with junk mail like they said.

I think 220 right now would be a good goal for us except for madd cause she is 210. Madd are u up for the challenge of 190??LOL Thats about 20 lbs for all of us.... we can do it

Take care buddies

Lis

I love this Maddie! Thanks for sharing it.

Lis: re MSN Messenger. It looks like our computer picked up a virus, so until we get that taken care of, I'm not going to email or IM. Will let you know when we're safe again.

20 lbs. or bust!!!!!!!

It is a great attitude to have, but the problem I have is I do hate the way I look, maybe I can somehow change my attitude about it. I hope so

Ok well you have my address when you get rid of the nasty virus!

Take Care!

Lis

Hey guys, 190 lbs cool that will be my first goal! Wow, I haven't weighed that in almost 3 yrs!! Are we susposed to have a date for this goal or is it just whenever it happens? I don't have msn messenger so I'll just communicate through here. Glad I found ya'll! Off the subject but I see ya'll are from the north, either of you wouldn't happen to be hockey fans would ya? I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan!! What have ya'll been snacking on? That is the hardest thing for me. I have always been a snacker.

Hey Madd,

I think setting a date is good, I saw a thread any they were making their date May 24 weekend. Well that is close for us so any suggestions would be good.

Hockey Fan??? How can I live in Canada and not be lmao. Although our Toronto Maple Leafs got creamed by the Flyers. As for being a Dallas Star fan, they are one of Sean (dh)'s favorite teams, he likes Modano, somebody else and Sador please excuse my spelling lol

Well I have discovered a snack, its new to me anyway its celery with cream cheese on it. But if your in the induction you have to watch because 1 cup of celery equals 5 g of carbs

Chatting here is good too! I am addicted to this website lol this and fitday.com

Well off to weigh myself and figure out my new eating habits.

Take Care!

Lis

Hi LisaNSean! First of all, Modano rocks!!I stood in line for 3 hrs to get his autograph last December. My family thinks I'm crazy. I like Sador too and Arnott and Hatcher and Zubov well I could go on and on so I'll stop. lol. Yeah, Belfour really sucked this year.
So, I have no idea what date to set. I'll look at some threads and see what others are doing.
Yeah, I'll eat just about anything with cream cheese on it. I read last night about putting parmesean cheese on a plate in the microwave and letting it get crisp. I thought I would try that.

You guys! Consider starting a journal. You each will have your own personal space to post menus, exercise, thoughts... and then we all visit each other and offer support here.

This entire board is a big buddy forum.

Hey Madd,

Do you I watched Jason Arnott play hockey for the Oshawa Generals(my home town) wayyyyyyyyy before he made it big. I thought in the last game they should have pulled Belfor at like the 3rd goal but then again I don't how good Kidd is so.... I think that the leafs just didn't want it bad enough, and they went into the playoffs with injuries.(Sean's excuse) LMAO

Well enough about hockey, I don't know how much I will be on here tomorrow because I have my bowling banquet and on Saturday I am throwing a housewarming party for my best friend.

I think we should set the day for June/July?????

Well I will post my weight gain/loss tomorrow morning...

Take care and Good luck


Lis

That is so cool about Arnott. He is AWESOME! O.k. well I'm thinking maybe July 4th? I'm on my 8th day and still at 5 lbs so I'm afraid if I do it any sooner I won't make it. I don't know what do you think?

Great to see so many on this thread interesed in suppoting and challenging each other. I am all for a challenge it helps me when I am accountable to someone so letting each other know how we are doing would be great. Are we able to continue using this thread? I find it sometimes confusing to find a particular thread.

I see we have Hockey fans....too bad about the Leafs. Although I am in Calgary now my loyalty is still with the Leafs.
