HI EVERYONE. I'M FAIRLY NEW TO THIS SITE. I'VE BEEN DOING ATKINS FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, HOWEVER, I'VE FALLEN OFF THE WAGON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. I NEED TO GET BACK ON THE RIGHT PATH. I NEED HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT...I'M LOOKING FOR AN ONLINE BUDDY TO TALK TO DAILY TO KEEP ME ON TRACK...I HAVE ABOUT 100 LBS TO LOSE...MY GOAL IS 50 LBS BY MY BIRTHDAY IN SEPTEMBER...I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE, WITH HELP. I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO WHO KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE SO OVERWEIGHT, SOMEONE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO, AND FOR ME TO GIVE SUPPORT BACK IN RETURN. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT ON THIS SITE. lubug71

Hello,
I feel the same way you do, I feel like I need someone to respond with who is going through the same things. I go to meeting on Monday nights at my low carb store but everyday support would be wonderful. If you would like to exchange info and be there for each other I would. Nancy

Boy oh Boy did you come to the right place. Here you have not just one buddy but a whole group of buddies. Just check our journals and you will find someone that mayour profile. And if that is not enough you can drop anything on us and someone will have been there at one time or another, Welcome home

We're all here for you!!!!!! Don't be afraid to use this board for any purpose you need to keep yourself on this WOE!!! That's why it was created. Welcome lubug!!

lubug....There are many of us here in the same boat. I had a really bad fall from that wagon ( a 6 month fall to be exact), but am back on it again. We all benefit from the support here. Welcome and good luck on your journey!

lubug,
Start you a journal. It helps a lot to list the things you are eating and others can come and help you by looking and seeing how you are doing and giving you a lot of encouragement.

THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGING REPLYS! EVERYONE HERE IS REALLY ACCEPTING AND UNDERSTANDING...WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!

GSmom...I'D LOVE TO EMAIL BACK AND FORTH WITH DAILY UPDATES. I AM GOING TO START A FOOD JOURNAL TONIGHT. I HAD ONE BEFORE. I THINK IT IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO, BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY, AND PORTION SIZES...THANKS AGAIN! LU

GSmom...here is my e-mail...**********
